Image-based software solutions for advanced materials processing and characterization

Abstract

New image-based solutions are being developed for advanced materials processing and characterization, which involve working with and creating high-quality models from scan data (such as MRI, CT, micro-CT…). Techniques involving the reconstruction and analysis of 3D materials data can accurately reconstruct internal structures, even to the nano level, and generate high-quality meshes suitable for design and simulation applications. By looking at key techniques and their applications, it is possible to better understand the wider impact and benefits of image-based modelling for industry when working with advanced materials.
