We've brought **Iterative Reconstruction** and **advanced metal artifact reduction** to the Data Quality Toolkit in Labs, sped up our default reconstruction pathways by nearly 50%, and made Wall Thickness Analysis substantially faster — now with support for both meshes and volumes. We've also streamlined the Inspection Plane workflow, added View Profiles for saving your default view settings, and sharpened scan thumbnails across the platform.* ### Iterative Reconstruction & Advanced Metal Artifact Reduction in the Data Quality Toolkit The [Data Quality Toolkit](/voyager/voyager-labs-data-quality-toolkit) in the [Labs](/voyager/voyager-labs) app gains two distinct pathways for improving data quality, each producing high-quality results: * **Iterative Reconstruction** is now a full reconstruction pipeline in the Data Quality Toolkit, delivering a massive overall improvement in quality for best-in-class reconstruction. * **Advanced metal artifact reduction** is new for our standard (non-iterative) pipeline, also available in the Data Quality Toolkit. Both pathways are especially effective on densely packed, mixed-material parts like PCBs, delivering a big jump in overall data quality. Consult Lumafield for detailed guidance on when to use each technique. ### Nearly 50% Faster Reconstructions We've delivered a nearly **50% speedup** on our default reconstruction pathways. Faster reconstructions mean less time waiting and more time analyzing, with no change to the workflows you already use. ### Wall Thickness Analysis: Faster, and Now on Meshes & Volumes [Wall Thickness Analysis](/voyager/voyager-wall-thickness-analysis) is now substantially faster and supports both meshes and volumes. Whether you're assessing plastic packaging, thin-walled medical components, additively manufactured parts, or castings, you can now run analyses across more of your data, more quickly. ### More Updates 🛠️ **Manager Dashboard improvements**. The [Manager Dashboard](/voyager/voyager-manager-dashboard) has been updated to make workspace and user management significantly easier to navigate. 🍕 **Streamlined Inspection Plane workflow**. The [Inspection Plane](/voyager/voyager-inspection-planes) tools have been updated with a streamlined workflow, making it faster to create and work with 2D dimensions. 💾 **View Profiles**. You can now save your inspection settings as View Profiles, preserving your default view settings so you can pick up right where you left off. 🖼️ **Sharper scan thumbnails**. Scan thumbnails are now more clear, with 2× the resolution. ###### # May 2026 — Voyager 2.0 *This month, we're shipping our largest Voyager release to date. **Voyager 2.0** reorganizes the Project Editor around three task-focused [Modes](/voyager/voyager-modes) — Analysis, Dimensioning, and Reporting — and introduces [3D Auto-Dimensioning](/voyager/voyager-auto-dimensioning), the first generally-available 3D GD\&T suite inside Voyager. Manager Dashboard, scanner access controls, and language coverage all get an upgrade as well.* ### Voyager Modes Voyager moves from a single combined toolbar into three Modes, each surfacing a curated set of Tools so the right Tool is always one click away. [Analysis Mode](/voyager/voyager-modes#analysis-mode) contains every existing Tool. [Dimensioning Mode](/voyager/voyager-modes#dimensioning-mode) is home to the new 3D GD\&T suite. [Reporting Mode](/voyager/voyager-modes#reporting-mode) consolidates Bookmarks, Renders, and Animations as the foundation of reporting and sharing in Voyager. Voyager Modes — Analysis, Dimensioning, and Reporting

Voyager Modes — Analysis, Dimensioning, and Reporting

*Modes give you the right Tool for the job — Analysis, Dimensioning, or Reporting — without rebuilding your Project.* ### 3D Auto-Dimensioning [3D Auto-Dimensioning](/voyager/voyager-auto-dimensioning) is a new precision 3D measurement suite, designed initially to comply with [**ASME Y 14.5 - 2009**](https://www.asme.org/codes-standards/find-codes-standards/y14-5-dimensioning-tolerancing/2009), with a mathematical implementation based on the [**ASME Y 14.5.1 - 2019**](https://www.asme.org/codes-standards/find-codes-standards/y14-5-1-mathematical-definition-dimensioning-tolerancing-principles) mathematical definitions. Powered by Automatic Feature Extraction on full-resolution reconstruction data, it returns sub-voxel planes, cylinders, and a full-part mesh that drive every Tool in the suite: * [**Direct Dimensions**](/voyager/voyager-direct-dimensions) — Distance, Angle, Diameter * [**Flatness**](/voyager/voyager-flatness) * [**Datum Definition**](/voyager/voyager-datums) * [**Profile**](/voyager/voyager-profile) — full-part and per-feature 3D Auto-Dimensioning hero

*Voyager's 3D Auto-Dimensioning suite extracts geometry from your scan and evaluates GD\&T directly in the Project Editor.* Expect rapid updates as we extend these Tools and weave GD\&T functionality throughout Voyager. ### More Updates 🛠️ **Manager Dashboard refresh**. The [Manager Dashboard](/voyager/voyager-manager-dashboard) has been updated with a refreshed layout and clearer plan and usage views. 🔐 **Scanner login**.

Documentation visuals will be refreshed in subsequent releases as the new UI lands fully across the product. ###### # January 2026 *In this month's Product Update, we're excited to introduce Helical Scanning for Neptune, dramatically expanding what's possible when scanning tall or elongated parts. We're also rolling out new scanner access controls, visualization enhancements, and workflow improvements across Voyager.*

### Helical Scanning We're introducing [Helical Scanning](https://www.lumafield.com/product-feature/helical-scanning) as a new acquisition mode on Neptune, designed for tall or elongated parts. With Helical Scanning, the part moves upward as it rotates, capturing a continuous helical dataset that dramatically expands the vertical scan envelope while allowing the part to be positioned closer to the detector for higher resolution. Engineers can scan long geometries such as water jugs or Apple Pencils at 10×+ higher resolution without stitching together multiple scans. Helical scans integrate seamlessly into Voyager, you can set scan bounds in seconds, and scans open just like standard volumes, now with a much larger Field of View (FOV) and significantly more usable high-resolution data. Helical Scanning will be available soon — if you're interested in early access, reach out to [support@lumafield.com](mailto:support@lumafield.com).

*Helical Scanning expands CT imaging for larger volumes with higher resolution.* ### Labs: Data Quality Toolkit and ROI Copy & Paste If you haven't checked out the [Labs](https://support.lumafield.com/voyager/voyager-labs) button in your Voyager toolbar, now is a great time. We've released [Data Quality Toolkit](https://support.lumafield.com/voyager/voyager-labs-data-quality-toolkit#labs-data-quality-toolkit) - an app that guides you through CT Scan artifact identification and workflows to set correction parameters that can improve your reconstruction quality substantially. Take your reconstructions to the next level with the Data Quality Toolkit. We've also released [ROI Copy & Paste](https://support.lumafield.com/voyager/voyager-labs-copy-paste), a simple tool to copy ROIs between reconstructions in the same project, or between reconstructions in different projects. ### More Updates 🔍 **Deep 2D Slices for ROI Authoring**. Deep 2D slices make ROI authoring faster and more intuitive by displaying the maximum intensity values from all slices when viewing a 2D cardinal. This aggregated view provides clearer context for internal features and boundaries, helping you define accurate ROI boundaries more quickly and with greater confidence. 🔐 **Scanner Workspace Access Controls**. Organizations can now control which workspaces each scanner can access and set scanner-specific default workspaces directly in the Manager Dashboard, making it easier to manage permissions and streamline scanner usage across teams. 🎥 **Display Cards for Requested Renders**. Requested renders and their status are now visible in the Bookmark Attributes Panel, similar to Recipe status within a project. Available renders will download immediately when re-requested, making it easier to track progress and retrieve outputs. 🎨 **Color Map Inversion for Volumes, Radiographs, and Image Planes**. You can now invert color map visualizations on volumes, radiographs, and image planes. Inverted color maps help visualize lower-density materials and make differences in material density, defects, and boundaries easier to perceive. Note: color inversion is not yet applied to downloaded image planes. ###### # December 2025 *In this month's Product Update, we're shipping several Integrity Analysis enhancements in Voyager to make defect identification and reporting clearer and more actionable. We've added the ability to bookmark full-resolution radiographs and volume slices, to make them even easier to share. And offset scanning now requires explicit confirmation, preventing accidental offset captures.* ### Integrity Analysis Improvements We've made several updates to Integrity Analysis to help you identify, interpret, and share defect data more easily. You can now display pores, inclusions, and cracks by ID, making it simpler to locate specific defects and relate them directly to downloadable analysis reports. Maximum diameters are now surfaced for pores, inclusions, and cracks, helping highlight the most significant defects in each analysis. Have more analysis attributes you might want surfaced? Provide us feedback within Voyager or reach out to [product@lumafield.com](mailto:product@lumafield.com).

*Porosity analysis on a steel butt weld.* ### More Updates 📖 **Bookmark full-resolution radiographs and volume slices**.

*Auto-Dimensioning allows for instant GD\&T of this automotive connector.* ### Promote Volume Slices to Full Resolution Last month, we shared the ability to render and download full-resolution radiographs. You can now also promote volume slices to full resolution. This makes it easier than ever to download high-quality images from your scans. This feature can be found under "Promote Slice" in Voyager's Attributes Panel, and can be automated via Recipe as well.

*Especially useful in lower resolution ROIs, promoting a cardinal slice to full resolution surfaces details not always visible in the default slice view.* ### More Updates 🔍 **ROI workflow updates**. We have made several enhancements to the ROI workflow. We're excited to introduce nested ROIs, enabling hierarchical analysis of sub-areas within larger regions for improved context. We've also added an optional advanced mode to the ROI workflow that restores the prior consolidated ROI experience. Lastly, we've fixed a few bugs to improve reliability in the new ROI workflow. 🗺️ **Slice plane snapping**. You can now double-click on any cardinal 2D slice to snap all slice planes — in that view and the associated 3D view — to that location with crosshairs added to the viewport. Single-click in any viewport to turn off the wayfinding cursor.

*Slice plane snapping makes it easier to navigate through your 3D scan.* 🏢 **Professional Services announcement**. We're expanding our platform capabilities with [Professional Services](https://www.lumafield.com/products/professional-services), providing expert solutions to scale CT programs with custom fixtures and recipe development. ###### # October 2025 *This month, we're excited to announce significant data quality and clarity enhancements that are live in Voyager today. We've also streamlined the ROI creation workflow, adding clearer portions to each step. Other updates we're releasing include the ability to promote and download radiographs as full-resolution images, with full-resolution volume slice planes coming soon.* ### Volume Clarity Improvements We now show newly-created volumes at a much higher clarity and quality. Quick, lower-quality scans now look like higher-quality scans that were run for many hours, allowing you to speed up your scanning workflows or to extract better data quality from your existing scan processes. All new reconstructions and ROIs created manually in Voyager will reflect this improvement, including new ROIs created for scans run prior to the update.
