Lighter, stronger, safer materials with 3D x-ray technology
Instead of reinventing the wheel, the goal of one University of British Columbia (UBC) researcher at the Okanagan campus is to make wheels, and other manufactured materials, lighter, stronger, and safer. Once the domain of science fiction, the recently installed 3D x-ray computed tomography (CT) microscope is allowing experts to peer inside the internal structure of materials and explore a 3D image, magnified 1,000 times. It’s the first step towards lighter and stronger resources that can be used in most industries including aerospace, energy, and manufacturing, says UBC School of Engineering Assist.
