Hexagon’s Volume Graphics CT data analysis software was voted the leader in the 3D Scanning or Metrology category at the 3D Printing Industry Awards ceremony held in London, England in December 2023.

While the focus of this particular annual award is on additive manufacturing, Volume Graphics is used across the automotive, aerospace, and defence industries by manufacturers seeking better ways to inspect parts and improve designs—whether 3D printed or produced via other technologies.

Engineers exploring novel materials and manufacturing methods are increasingly turning to industrial CT scanning for highly accurate, non-destructive evaluation of product robustness and performance. Volume Graphics is a developer of visualization and analysis software technology that interprets data from CT scans, of almost any material, to detect structural and design deviations that can affect part quality. This in turn informs engineers as they adjust design-engineering strategies to optimize their products.

“I want to express my deepest gratitude to those who voted us 3D Scanning or Metrology Company of the Year," said Volume Graphics General Manager Dr. Daniela Handl as she celebrated with staff the company's global headquarters in Heidelberg, Germany. "What an amazing testament to the work of our incredible team—their commitment to excellence, innovation, and collaboration has been the driving force behind our success. While this award is a momentous achievement, it is also a reminder that our journey is far from over. We stand at the forefront of innovation, and there is so much more to explore, create, and achieve together.”
