This can provide internal 3D Scanning of metal objects. This is done using a CT (Computed Tomography) scanner - formerly known as CAT scanner.

System

Components

  • CERN Open source computation of 3D images from 2D scans - OpenCT
  • DIY x-ray source from Hackaday by Matt "Sigurthr" Giordano - [2]
