Multiple Applications

RayScan is especially convenient for support in the development of new manufacturing processes, new materials or new components, as well as for optimization and monitoring of manufacturing processes.

RayScan can be applied to inspection of components of various materials such as light metals, plastics, ceramics or fibre composites.

Apart from its applications in conventional branches of industry such as automobile manufacturers and suppliers, aviation and space industry, as well as other industries with safety-relevant components or special materials, RayScan is more and more often used for scientific purposes in the fields of archaeology, palaeontology or for art historical research.

Reproduction of a Prehistoric Artwork
The "Lion Man", said to be the oldest representation of a man-animal creature was examined with RayScan. Originally it was carved out of a tooth of a mammoth. When it was found in 1931 it had broken into some hundreds of pieces. In assiduous work it was reconstructed and stored in the museum of Ulm (Germany).
The quality of the reconstruction work was examined by aid of the 3D-tomography. It could be shown that the nervous channel passed straight through the object without deviations. Thus, it could be proven that the reconstruction had been done perfectly.
With the aim to make a copy, the lion-man was measured with the contactless method of the computer tomography. The 3D-CT-data were converted into model data and a copy produced.
Conventional methods of moulding might have damaged the surface of the lion-man.
