No questions just appreciation. Your blog and Marc’s channel are about the most interesting things I’ve read and watched for years (as an ex EE). Pure quality content. Thank you.
Thanks for the nice comment!
What kind of file format the CT machine produce? DICOM? What's the spatial resolution of the model? How big was the file for this component? Could you make the file available? Are they using webgl to display the volume in 3D?
The system is web-based so I don't know about the underlying file format. They've downloaded files to a 3-D printer so it's something usable. The spatial resolution depends on the size of the object (which determines how close it is to the sensor). In one scan we saw the bond wires inside a transistor in a unit, so the resolution can be very good. For a large, dense metal object the resolution is lower.
So apparently the volume is loaded in 3 chunks 95MB (285M). Looking at the code they are indeed using WebGL (through Three.js) for the raytracing. I don't think it's a DICOM format, at least not on the frontend side as I don't see the usual DICOM fields used in 3D rendering in the code. They have multiple versions of React bundled, I don't know what's the story about that.
Anyway, thanks for the link, nice piece of technology.
I asked Lumafield. They say that the can export mesh files for 3D printing, but they don't support DICOM files.
