Volume Graphics

Comprehensive Real-world Data as a Basis for MSC Simulation Software

Volume Graphics enables its customers to keep the quality high by getting full insight into their products—from design to serial production. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Germany, the company has more than 20 years of experience in the development of software for non-destructive testing based on industrial computed tomography (CT). Since 2020, Volume Graphics has been part of Hexagon.

Volume Graphics applications such as the comprehensive CT analysis software VGSTUDIO MAX cover all needs related to metrology, defect detection and assessment, material properties, whether a customer is using the all-encompassing technology of CT or other 3D data formats such as point cloud, mesh, and CAD. Thanks to its modular concept, VGSTUDIO MAX evolves with the needs of the costumer. And with VGinLINE, a ready-to-use framework that relies on the advanced capabilities of VGSTUDIO MAX, customers can semi- or fully automate their quality control process.

CT data provides the basis for the insightful results the Volume Graphics software delivers, as CTnon-destructively reveals every aspect of an object. Because CT reconstruction produces a complete representation of an object in 3D from a large number of 2D X-ray images, software such as VGSTUDIO MAX allows the user to draw conclusions on the external and internal structures of the object and its material properties. Thus, the user gets answers to more complex questions. Moreover, the technology of CT is uniquely positioned to fuel simulations with real-world data. In the end, customers can improve their simulations and validate results—all by using CT data analyzed with Volume Graphics software.
