High-Performance Visualization for Industrial Computed Tomography
In today’s manufacturing environment, 3D visualization of industrial computed tomography results for non-destructive testing and quality control procedures has gained tremendous importance. Open CASCADE understands the high demand for hardware-independent solutions capable of handling large volumes of heavy volumetric data generated by modern CT scanners.
The OPEN CASCADE Volume Rendering component provides software vendors and equipment manufacturers with advanced technology for visual quality control and NDT in industrial manufacturing. This specialized SDK enables the development of high-performance applications for processing and visualizing massive volumetric datasets with exceptional detail and speed.
