You know what medical CT is, but what about industrial CT? 🤔Learn how industrial CT works, its history, and the ways it can make manufacturing better and more efficient for engineers. 📈. Discover industrial CT here 💡:

CT scanning gives us a non-destructive look at what makes good fuel good. If you could see inside your charcoal before buying it, would you choose differently?. And if you’re curious to explore the scans for yourself, check out the following links:. Briquette:.

From a materials perspective, it’s clear that density, pore structure, and inclusions dictate burn behavior. High density with low porosity delivers long, even burns. Open, porous structures ignite quickly, but exhaust fuel faster. Inorganic inclusions simply dilute usable.

Coconut shell charcoal is made from agricultural waste, ground and pressed. Our scans reveal a dense, uniform structure with fewer voids than lump and much cleaner than briquettes. It burns evenly with little ash, offering a sustainable choice without sacrificing performance.

Binchotan is a highly-refined natural option. This traditional Japanese hardwood charcoal is fired at ~1000 degrees C, then cooled slowly. Here’s something remarkable: nearly solid carbon with very few voids. Its extreme density means it burns for hours with minimal smoke and

Santa’s favorite gift for troublemakers 🎅. Pyrolyzed whole wood with minimal processing. Irregular pore networks, fewer inclusions. Light, ignites easily, responds well to airflow. Burns hotter and faster, but you trade control for intensity.

First: briquettes. These are made from compressed charcoal dust mixed with binders and fillers like sawdust and clay. Our scans show a dense, uniform block with lots of inclusions. That heavy ash they leave behind? Fillers don’t combust, reducing usable energy and leaving

What’s your go-to charcoal for the 4th of July?. Even if you’re not a pro, you know there’s a difference between a generic briquette and natural ones. But what’s going on inside to burn differently and hotter? We put four kinds of charcoal in our industrial CT scanner to find

We scanned the new Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con and discovered something familiar: a potentiometer. See why the Switch 2 will likely also suffer from stick drift 😔. #imaging #engineering #tech #ct #scan #xray #nintendo #switch #Switch2 #stickdrift #halleffect #mario #mariokart

The new Nintendo Switch 2 has a lot of new upgrades and one familiar component in the Joy-Con. Check out the new hardware that'll have Mario saying "Wahoo!" 🎮#imaging #engineering #tech #ct #scan #xray #nintendo #switch #Switch2 #mario #mariokart #nvidia #joycon

Scott Manley (@DJSnM) visited our new SF office and let us scan his Soyuz clock and heat shield tile! Check out the scans and Scott’s deep dive into industrial CT with our Head of Marketing, @JonBruner . 🚀. Check out the video here:

Our Microfocus Neptune can get up close with some pretty small objects 🤩. Thanks for bringing in the heat shield tile Scott! @DJSnM.

We’ve been growing at Lumafield, and that means upgrading our space. Take a tour with us of our new SF office! Interested in working on the future of industrial CT? Check out our open roles here:

We’re featured in the @sfexaminer! 🗞️. Reporter Troy Wolverton visited our SF office to see how we’re making industrial CT scanning more accessible—and how @SkydioHQ is using it to speed up drone development while @iFixit is using it to unlock new insights for teardown and repair.

Fake Airpods can be deceiving on the outside, but the insides cannot hide from our CT scanners 😈 . Swipe through to see the duplicitous shortcuts used to make them similar enough to the real ones. #imaging #engineering #tech #ct #scan #xray #fake #airpod #airpods #pros #apple

We bought some used Airpod Pros off eBay, and turns out, they're fake! Peel back the layers with us to see what quality differences go into a legit pair and what shortcuts are used on dupes 🎧. #imaging #engineering #tech #ct #scan #xray #fake #airpod #airpods #pros #apple

The third and final part of @iFixit and @nostarch guide on CT scans is out! Read up on identifying structures in a variety of devices.

Didn’t see our announcement the other day?. Triton is our new high-throughput CT scanner built for the factory floor, scanning as many as 12 parts per minute and making real-time go/no-go decisions. Visit the link for more info or to schedule a demo🔗.
