Updates
Voyager Release Notes
Detailed version release notes for Voyager.
📁 VGL File Uploads to Voyager
The Voyager Uplink Module now supports VGL file uploads, expanding our supported formats beyond TIFF stacks. This makes it easier to bring scan data from third-party CT scanners into Voyager for analysis and collaboration.📌 Persistent Recipe Dropdown Selection
Your selected recipe now persists when closing and reopening the recipe panel, so you won’t lose your place when toggling between tasks.🐞 Tile Sizing Bug Fix
Fixed a visual glitch where project dashboard tiles weren’t sizing correctly on certain screen sizes.📁 Upload more file types
Users with non-Lumafield scanners can now upload .vgl files — via the Voyager Uplink Module — directly to Voyager. This is a huge time-saver for teams that previously had to export and upload TIFF stacks, a process that could take hours.🔗 Right-Click to Share from the Project Dashboard
We’ve now made it even simpler to share projects — right-click any project in the dashboard and grab a share link in two clicks.🌎 Duplicate demo projects
You are now able to make copies of our public demos to explore Voyager’s key features on real-world scans. These starter projects come pre-loaded with scans, recons, analyses, and visualizations to help you get up and running with Voyager even faster.🤖 Analysis Recipe Enhancements
Analysis recipes can now specify a specific mesh or volume as an “external input” via dropdown selection in Voyager. This gives you more precise control over which data your recipes analyze.🎥 Radiograph Animation Support
Scrub animations are now supported for radiographs, bringing the same smooth animation capabilities to 2D radiographic data.🔖 Bookmark Improvements
Single viewport bookmarks now work more reliably and are easier to create, making it simpler to generate high-quality bookmarks using recipes.📍 Scanner Position Visibility
You can now view the scanner position coordinates (X, Y, Z) for all scans when viewing reconstructions in Voyager, providing better spatial context for your data.🎬 Animation Download Reliability
Significantly improved the reliability of animation and render downloads after identifying and resolving the primary cause of download failures.📐 Wall Thickness Analysis Updates
When setting up wall thickness analysis, you can now toggle on ISO-50 thresholding as an alternative to manually setting threshold values.🐞 UI Enhancements And Bug Fixes
- ISO 50 toggle option added to wall thickness analysis setup for easier configuration.
- Panel headings are now collapsible for a cleaner, more organized interface.
- Uplink upload units changed from millimeters to microns for improved precision.
💪 Introducing Bulk Actions
You can now search, select, and apply actions across multiple projects at once. While helpful to all, these are especially valuable for high-scan-volume teams and those managing projects across workspaces.- Advanced search and filtering (by metadata, recipe use, and more).
- Batch selection of projects.
- Run recipes, assign tags, archive, or move projects in bulk – all in one go.
- Project Description field is searchable, and can be set from within a project.
📑 New And Improved Support Docs
We’ve made significant enhancements to our Support Documentation and Experience. The new docs platform includes:- Smarter AI search for finding answers faster.
- Cleaner navigation and layout.
- Updated guides with Voyager’s current UI.
- Feature-rich tutorials to help onboard and upskill teams quickly.
🤖 Analysis Recipe UI Updates
Analysis Recipe runs, which used to be listed in the left-hand Data Panel, now appear in the recipe attribute panel to reduce clutter. Click on the Recipes button in the top right panel to view which recipes have been run on the project, as well as their progress.📐 Introducing Wall Thickness Analysis
Wall Thickness Analysis is now available to all users with the Integrity Analysis Module. Whether you’re working with plastic consumer and product packaging, thin-walled medical components, additively manufactured parts, or castings, this tool gives you a powerful way to assess both external and internal wall thickness and structural performance, alongside material usage. Review the support documentation here.🐞 UI Enhancements And Bug Fixes
- Higher resolution PNGs (e.g., 4K renders) should now render properly.
📏 Probe Tool Enhancements
Probe tool regions in 3D now show up in the corresponding 2D views, so you can orient your measurements within the cardinal slices as well. You can use the probe tool with CAD comparisons and Wall Thickness Analysis results.🐞 UI Enhancements And Bug Fixes
- JPEG split screen render downloads now show both viewports in Firefox.
- Voyager embeds with animations now allow for proper scrubbing through cardinal slices.
🎥 Animation & Render Tool Updates
- Updated square video and image dimension settings to 1080 x 1080 (a more common format than the prior 1920 x 1920 dimensions).
- Changed the default frame rate from 30 FPS to 24 FPS, which speeds up animation render times without any noticeable loss in video quality.
- “Low” and “medium” quality videos are now roughly 2x smaller in file size, now more ideal for sharing and including in lightweight presentations and content.
- Fixed an animation bug that caused split-screen video downloads to only show the primary viewport.
📁 Recipe Results Improvements
Recipe results download zip folder and associated sub-folders names are now much more descriptive of the recipe, project, and object name. The top-level zip name includes the project name, recipe, invocation time. Sub-folders reference the document object name (e.g., a reconstruction name). File results within those folders include the project name, document object, and resultant file name.🔖 Bookmark Enhancements
You can now bookmark probed CAD comparison views.🎥 Introducing Animation And Render Tools
Voyager’s Animation and Render tools now enable 3D orbit and 2D slice scrub animations of scans, high-quality renders, share options, and extensive download settings.📏 Introducing The Probe Tool
Probe tool released. You can now take measurements directly on CAD comparison results. Before this enhancement, obtaining values was largely visual, with precise measurements requiring some magic barn door maneuvering. Now, you can directly click on a surface and obtain min, max, mean, and standard deviation values, putting more quantitative tools in the hands of users.🙋♂️ Request Project Access
Users can request access to shared projects. Before this release, when a project was shared that a user didn’t have access to, she’d run into a “Project not found” screen. With this update, users now have a path to request access to the project. Managers receive a request access email and can easily approve the request.🐞 UI Enhancements And Bug Fixes
- You can now hover over a project name in the project dashboard and view the entire project name.
- Viewers can now create revolving & custom slice planes (that only show in their project view).
- Porosity, crack, inclusion analysis metrics in the Attributes Panel now respect the selected unit system.
- We’ve increased the resolution percentage precision to avoid confusion with rounding errors.
- We fixed a bug where completed recipes asked users to update the project but failed to save subsequent project edits. Clicking update should now properly update the project.
✉️ Email Format Improvements
New, clearer, and consistent formatting for account Verify Account, Complete Account Creation, Existing User Added to Workspace emails. This makes it easier for users to request access to Voyager projects (for scans shared with them by team members) and for managers to add users.🔖 Bookmark Updates
Custom and revolving slice planes now show up in the 3D view in bookmarks, providing more context to bookmark viewers.🔖 Significant Bookmark Improvements
- With deep links, you can now share links to specific bookmarks rather than landing on the top level project object, making sharing more targeted.
- Moreover, bookmarks of revolving and custom slice planes now contain the slice visual in 3D, providing spatial context of the plane’s location.
- Lastly, we can now tailor bookmark settings via recipes to include parameters such as adjustable histogram, color map attributes, and more.
🚀 Performance Improvements
Major performance fixes / improvements to our Integrity Analysis tools. Before this fix, those with less performant machines could find it very difficult to inspect results, as their screen would go blank and require a project refresh. Now, viewing porosity, inclusion, and crack results should run smoothly for all users.🐞 UI Enhancements And Bug Fixes
- Manual Axis of Rotation Correction (MAoRC) slice lines now extend beyond the 50% mark, enabling you to choose from slices on the extents of their scans.
- Removed dithering from 2D slices.
- Adjusted range mapper barndoor colors so they’re consistent across workflows.
🕸️ Mesh Enhancements
- Bidirectional thresholding: Before this change, you could only control the mesh created from your scan by segmenting out lower attenuation material. Now, with bidirectional thresholding, you can also segment out higher attenuation materials, giving you more control over that mesh output.
- Single part isolation: When generating a mesh, you can isolate the largest part in your scan to remove small artifacts.
- Mesh decimation: You can decimate meshes to a desired face count so they’re more manageable in other tools, like CAD and simulation software. And remember, on the other side of the spectrum, for work that demands high accuracy, you can download full resolution meshes (provided in an earlier release).
🍕 Dimensioning Enhancements
You can now create inspection planes and dimension on custom and revolving slice planes.🕸️ Large Mesh Downloads
You can now download meshes that are too large to display in Voyager. CT scanning can yield very high resolution meshes, which some of you might require for workflows and analyses that demand high accuracy. Some high resolution meshes cannot be viewed today in Voyager, so we’re providing the option to download those meshes as an alternative.🐞 UI Enhancements And Bug Fixes
- Cropbox handles no longer jump.
- Circles with larger radii now render properly.
🔬 ROI Workflow Updates
Generate Auto ROI moved earlier in the ROI flow, reducing confusion for those who manually create ROIs. We moved the “Generate Auto ROI” button earlier in the workflow so you’re less likely to accidentally press it during a manual ROI generation.🍪 Inclusion Analysis Enhancements
Minimum inclusion size added to Inclusion Analysis so users can reduce noise and better tailor results. It’s often useful to keep in significant inclusions but exclude small imperfections below a certain threshold in an Inclusion Analysis. With this update, you can set a minimum inclusion size before running the analysis so you can limit results to the threshold that’s most valuable to you.🐞 UI Enhancements And Bug Fixes
- Manager dashboard enhancements provide better, more intuitive control for managers. Managers can now edit the default workspace that scans get uploaded to.
- Usability updates improve clarity in workspace and role editor columns.
- mBHC now shows error messages and retry options in the case when correction images aren’t provided.
🔗 Introducing The Voyager Uplink Module
This module opens up the power of CT data to even more engineering and manufacturing teams by allowing CT data from any scanner to be uploaded to Voyager. Once in Voyager, even engineers with little to no CT experience can interrogate scans, run analyses, and set up powerful automations. Uplink is also an opportunity to offboard back-office CT data storage costs and maintenance to Voyager. Check out the product page and support docs for more details.🍪 Integrity Analysis Updates
Integrity Analysis appearance updates- Changes the copy to say “Use parent view settings” instead of “Grayscale”.
- Flips the on/off states of the toggle in line with this copy change.
- Opacity slider disappears when parent view settings are in use.
