‘Tis the season for sharing — now even easier in Voyager! This month, we’re introducing several bookmark enhancements that expand how you share scan data and insights across your team and partners.Bookmark enhancements
You can now share specific bookmarks using deep links, enabling targeted sharing. Bookmarks of revolving and custom slice planes include the corresponding plane visual in the 3D view, providing better spatial context.
Improving Voyager’s Performance
While we certainly get excited to roll out new features to you, it’s just as important to ensure Voyager continues to perform optimally – especially as we deliver more functionality and as you scale your usage.We’ve recently released notable performance enhancements to our Integrity Analysis tools. Previously, those with less performant devices might have encountered blank screens when viewing Porosity, Inclusion, or Crack Detection results – requiring a project refresh that might not have resolved the underlying behavior. With these improvements, we’ve reduced the memory consumption required in that experience so that you can now inspect Integrity Analysis results without interruption, across devices.More enhancements
🔇 Scanners now enter “quiet mode” when inactive for more than 10 minutes, keeping that fan humming down to a whisper!🍕 For inspection planes created on revolving and custom slice planes, we’ve added the slice location to the attributes panel so you have more context on which slice you’ve authored dimensions🌀 Axis of Rotation Correction (AoRC)– when correcting for doubling or blurring in a scan, the upper and lower line positions in the AoRC workflow did not span the entire vertical range of the radiograph. We’ve adjusted those such that they now do – especially useful for parts that extend vertically.🐞 We fixed a handful of small but pesky bugs, including objects and in-progress dimension labels that disappeared upon zooming. Thank you to those who surfaced some of these to our team!November 2024
November 2024
This month, we’re bringing powerful upgrades to meshing. You can now isolate single parts, apply mesh decimation, and download full-resolution meshes — giving you more control and flexibility in your CAD comparison, dimensioning, and mesh export workflows. Whether refining scans or working with high-detail models, these enhancements make meshing smoother than ever.Level up your mesh workflows
Many of you work with meshes to further inspect and compare scans, or to connect CT data into other tools, like CAD software. We’re thrilled to introduce new and powerful mesh features that are sure to turn your meshes into mesh-terpieces.
More Enhancements
🧹 Scan Sweep – a scanning feature that enables you to set multiple scan durations in a single scan run so you can dial in the optimal scan time for your part – now supports offset scanning and part removal / reloading.🎨 We’ve made some adjustments to range map handle colors to provide more consistency across mesh and integrity analysis workflows.October 2024
October 2024
October is here, and we’re carving out some exciting updates! This month brings Inspection planes to CAD comparisons, enabling you to take dimensions and evaluate deviations between your scan and CAD models with more precision. Plus, we’ve made some important updates to our scanners – scroll down to see more.Take dimensions on CAD comparisons
You can now create inspection planes on cardinal (x, y, z) slices of CAD Comparisons. That means you can easily dimension differences between scans, meshes, or CAD models, helping you complement the CAD deviation visual and range map with precise measurements – including internal features.
More Enhancements
🧹 Sweep of scans – a scanning feature that enables you to take 3 or 5 sequential scans of varying scan duration – now supports offset scanning and part removal / reloading.🐞 We fixed a scanner bug that occurred if double tapped the manual or auto scan button quickly, which could cause the scan to not process properly.👨🍳 Analysis recipes that provide multiple downloadable results now download as a single ZIP file rather than separate files.September 2024
September 2024
As the leaves begin to turn, we’re rotating into something fresh this September too. Our latest update introduces a highly requested feature from many of you. Now, you can create inspection planes on revolving and custom slice planes, giving you more flexibility and precision in your inspection and dimensioning workflows.Inspection planes on revolving and custom slice planes
Before this release, inspection planes were limited to cardinal (x, y, z) planes. With this update, you can now take dimensions on more complex features and cross-sections in your scan.These additions to Voyager’s measurement toolkit can be useful if you’re inspecting turbine blades or impellers, where custom slice planes help dimension cross-sections curved or irregular components. They’re also helpful with cylindrical components, such as batteries, bottles, or medical device couplings, where revolving slice planes assist in taking precise measurements.More Enhancements
❗ At times, Voyager might have trouble loading objects in the data panel. Usually this stems from network issues, which interrupt object loading, or because an object is too large to load into Voyager (e.g., a Porosity Analysis that contains a significant number of voids). As we continue to improve Voyager’s ability to handle these cases, we’ve added clearer messaging and suggested actions for how to handle these issues (e.g., reloading the page).📦 A few users reported that crop box handles were a bit jumpy. We’ve fixed that issue so that now those handles stay put!🔗 We’ve added in more graceful network interruption behavior and retries to Voyager Uplink when uploading scans from other CT scanners.August 2024
August 2024
As we hit peak summer temperatures, we’re also turning up the heat with our latest module release – Voyager Uplink. We heard from many of you who wanted to use Voyager to visualize, analyze, and collaborate on all your volumetric data, regardless of the scanner source. Uplink unlocks just that. Read more on Uplink below as well as other enhancements we’ve built.Introducing Voyager Uplink
Do you want to reduce the amount of time you spend prepping and sharing CT scan visuals and analyses with your broader team? Have them self-serve with Voyager Uplink. We built Voyager Uplink so that you and your team can upload scan data to Voyager from any CT scanner, easily visualize and run automated inspection workflows on it, and share it with others.
Voyager Manager Dashboard Enhancements
Before this update, administering workspaces and user roles could be challenging for managers. For one, managers could not edit default workspaces – the workspace that scanners upload scans to (if not adjusted at the scanner). We’ve now modified that so you can set the default workspaces as well as delete other non-default workspaces.
More Enhancements
🔬 Prior to this change, the “Generate Auto ROI” and “Generate ROI” buttons were right next to each other in the ROI workflow. When manually creating an ROI, it was easy to accidentally click on “Generate Auto ROI” instead of “Generate ROI” (our own teams even ran into this!). Doing so would discard any manual changes you had set. We recently changed the location of those buttons in the ROI workflow to minimize that confusion.💬 We release new updates to Voyager a few times a month so that you always get the latest and greatest features fast. From time to time during those updates, Voyager may experience downtime. In those cases, we’ve added a maintenance banner to the top of Voyager so that you know in advance when downtime may occur.🍪 Inclusion Analysis now includes an optional minimum inclusion size designation so that you can better tailor your analyses and results.🤏 Crack Detection now has increased limits for maximum crack diameter size so that you can also detect more significant fractures in your part.July 2024
July 2024
July’s been a hot month, and so are our latest sizzling updates. We’re excited to launch Scan Recipes, taking end-to-end automation from scanner to analysis to a whole new level. Have customized, repeatable scan setups and workflows? Scan Recipes can help automate those for your entire team. But that’s not all – check out our other updates below!Introducing Scan Recipes
Scan Recipes are especially useful for automating repetitive scanning routines and tasks. Paired with Analysis Recipes, these unlock true end-to-end automation from scanner to analysis.
Adjustable mesh / CAD comparison range map
Before this update, there was limited functionality in setting range map limits when analyzing results. This could make it difficult if you wanted to create consistent visualizations across multiple comparisons. Many of you requested the ability to customize that range map so that you could do just that – we heard you, and now you customize the range map to your desire.More Enhancements
🎨 Now you can customize the CAD, mesh, and scan comparison range map limits to ensure consistent visualizations.🐞 We fixed a persnickety ROI bug that created bizarrely beautiful – but not helpful – parallelogram-shaped ROI bounding boxes. If you encountered this bug, it should now be fixed (an exception and rare case can occur with nested ROIs, which we will be tackling down the road).June 2024
June 2024
Summer season is in full swing, and no one likes inclusions in their sunscreen. So, we’ve added another feature to the Integrity Analysis module called Inclusion Analysis, alongside several other enhancements.(New!) Inclusion Analysis
Inclusions can affect a part’s performance and integrity across a variety of applications, from sports equipment to pharmaceutical pressed powder drugs to plastic consumer packaging. Identifying inclusions helps you tune design and manufacturing parameters so you can make the best performing product.This new feature enables you to analyze foreign material and imperfections (i.e., inclusions) within your scans, building upon the existing Porosity Analysis and Crack Detection tools and experience.Graceful Performance Issue Modes
In the past, some projects might have failed to load in Voyager due to the data load from very large analyses. We’ve implemented a set of fixes that allows you to open your project and continue your work, even if you’ve run an analysis that cannot be loaded in. We will be continually improving these failure modes in future releases.
More Enhancements
🔪 Before this update, you could only slice through 2D views of a single mesh. Now, you can 2D slice through mesh comparisons. Coming soon, you will be able to add dimensions to comparison 2D slices as well⭕ Porosity Analysis now includes a minimum pore size designation so that you can better tailor your analyses and results⏩ We’ve optimized Beam Hardening Correction (BHC) so that it now runs much fasterMay 2024
May 2024
May the force be with you and your scans this month. We’re excited to share with you a new addition to the Integrity Analysis module family. Have a crack at it and let us know your thoughts.Introducing Crack Detection
With this feature – a new addition to Voyager’s Integrity Analysis module – you can now identify, visualize, and analyze a variety of defects in your scans with ease: cracks, surface-connected voids and pitting, as well as leak paths.Just like with Porosity Analysis, you can adjust resolutions and thresholds to your inspection requirements – ranging from small, micron-level fissures and voids to more macroscopic fractures. Once you submit the workflow and it runs, you can easily view and segment – in 3D and across 2D slices – anomalies that fall within your set thresholds.This enables you to start automating previously time-intensive identifications of defects in failure analysis, lifecycle testing, and molding, welding, and casting process control.Learn more about Crack Detection and how to run it in our support documentation.Manage Multiple Organizations
Before this month’s updates, as a manager, you could only manage one organization. Now, you can serve as a manager of multiple organizations, enabling you to properly administer multiple teams and departments – e.g., adding or removing users and workspaces, assigning workspace roles and membership, setting project link sharing, and more.
Performance and Usability Enhancements
Our team has been hard at work behind the scenes making improvements to Voyager’s interface and processing performance. Running corrections, analyses, and sifting through larger and more complex datasets should be smoother and more reliable.April 2024
April 2024
April showers bring May flowers, but more importantly, another set of Voyager and Scanner updates. Look forward to a number of usability and interface enhancements to Voyager as well as Scanner Autowarm, just in time for the approaching summer heat.Organization Management Improvements
Voyager’s April release streamlines organizational management by showing workspaces and projects from one organization at a time in the project dashboard (vs the prior experience, where all organizations, workspaces, and projects were visible in a single list). You can now easily switch between organizations via the user menu, and your selected organization persists across sessions.(New!) Unit System Switching
Users can now set their preferred unit system (metric or imperial) by clicking on the “Settings” button and selecting the system under the “User Preferences” section.
CAD Comparison Simplification
Prior to this update, comparing CAD models, meshes, and scans required two separate, somewhat disconnected steps: mesh alignment first, and then mesh comparison. CAD compare is now more user-friendly with guided steps through a single workflow.(New!) Scanner Autowarm
Manual scanner warm-up, which is required to prepare the X-Ray for scanning, can take anywhere from a few to twenty minutes to complete (daily) With auto-warming, your scanner warms itself at a designated daily time, so that you can save time and scan right away. Reach out to our Solutions Team or your sales rep if you are interested in enabling autowarm to your scanner.
