iCT Conference 2016

9. - 12. Februar 2016 in Wels

6th Conference on Industrial Computed Tomography

Computer Tomography uses X-radiation to examine materials, and to analyse, measure and visualize the results. CT is increasingly being used in the non-destructible analysis of components as well as for precise measurements. Applications are found for example in aircraft industry and automotive industry but also in research and science. In addition, CT methods are applied in age determination, for example in art, as a basis for reconstructions and simulations, or in the determination of material characteristics. In this field, the plastics industry is a major driving force in this development.

The iCT conference at the University of Applied Sciences (FH OÖ) in Wels took place for the fifth time. It has grown year by year. This time, the conference lasted four days and the campus in Wels is getting short of space. „This event on industrial computer tomography is unique in the world“, says one of the ICT founders, Professor Johann Kastner of the FH OÖ. A guest from Belgium, Professor Wim Dewulf of KU Leuven, appreciates above all the interaction between industry and research. After all, representatives of the major research institutes in Berlin and Japan as well as participants from well-known companies including BMW, Siemens, Airbus, Boeing or Zeiss took part at the conference.
