3D X-ray Computed Tomography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A new X-ray Computed Tomography Research Laboratory for Industrial Applications (XCT-Lab) of unibz will be established at NOI Techpark in Brunico. The laboratory will be equipped with a high-resolution CT scanner for offline, sample-based inspection and an in-line X-ray tomography system capable of acquiring three-dimensional images directly during production. While the in-line system will operate at a lower spatial resolution, it will achieve acquisition speeds compatible with industrial manufacturing cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research will develop AI-based methods that transfer the quantitative measurement and defect-detection capabilities of high-resolution CT to fast scanners suitable for in-line operation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By closely integrating computer vision<\/strong>, numerical simulation, and physics-informed machine learning<\/strong>, the project aims to lay the foundations for next-generation, CT-based in-line quality control of polymer, steel, and other metallic components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed framework will enable the automated detection and characterization of defects<\/strong> in three-dimensional in-line CT data. Combined simulation-driven and data-driven models will subsequently predict how these defects affect component performance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The laboratory will also develop large-scale benchmark datasets<\/strong> for industrial CT and foster methodological advances through international scientific challenges and competitions<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An industrial advisory board<\/strong> will be established to ensure grounding of research objectives in industry needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
