Porosity analysis 3D

Free IPSDK Explorer plugin to guide you in analyzing pourous materials.

Porosity Part inspection analysis using Xray µCT

General description

Material properties are strongly influenced by the presence of porosities, either they may be internal or surface porosities. Those properties will also ultimately condition the material application and performances.

Among the most significant examples concerning the impact of porosities, we can mention:

  • manufactured parts inspection, where porosities can generate failures or cracks, depending on their size, position, distance to other porosities…
  • drug delivery systems, where the vector porosity has a direct impact on its application
  • construction materials such as cement or concrete, where porosities determine the material resistance
  • metal, where porosities determine the part mechanical behaviors, generate corrosion…
  • rock analysis, where porosities have a direct impact on the gas adsorption or oil extraction process
  • …

No need to be an Image Analysis expert to extract and measure porosities in your images.

IPSDK Explorer proposes for free a dedicated Porosity plugin to extract and measure the porosities acquired from any 3D acquisition device such as :

  • FIB SEM
  • Tomo TEM
  • XRay CT or µCT
  • …

This free Plugin is designed and dedicated to guide and support you through easy steps to extract relevant metrics out of your images such as

  • Number of porosities
  • Porosity rate
  • Size and shape
  • Shape factors
  • Position and distance to closest neighbors
  • …

Once your settings are defined and stored, you can use them automatically as a “press button application” image per image or using batch processing on every image in a folder.

Pore Network Modeling (PNM) Applications

This IPSDK Explorer porosity free plugin will also help you to extract meshes for FEA simulation or to perform a Pore Network modelling for better understanding the porous network (pore size, pore throats…)

Last but not least: the Python code behind this plugin is available. You can modify it if needed or integrate it into a Python script.
