Overview
Voyager is Lumafield’s Cloud-based software for managing, inspecting, and analyzing data captured on Neptune and Triton scanners. Whether you’re new to X-ray CT or a veteran, you’ll find Tools to uncover insights on your scanned parts. Organize scan Projects, navigate reconstructed volumes, measure geometry, and run analysis workflows with Voyager. Voyager includes two primary components:- The Project Editor for interactive visualization, measurement, and analysis of CT data
- Dashboards for Project organization, Workspace management, and administrative settings
Voyager Project Editor
The Project Editor is Lumafield’s analysis software that allows you to interact directly with data from your CT scans — creating and navigating data, measuring geometries, and applying analysis Tools. See our article on Getting Around for more detail on the layout of the Project Editor.
Navigation + data
The Project Editor organizes Project data into several data types, each showing a different view of your data:- Projections — raw X-ray radiographs captured during the scan
- Reconstruction — a volume that represents the full CT Reconstruction
- Region of Interest (ROI) — A specifically oriented bounding box that defines a volume subsection of a parent volume or Reconstruction
- Plane — a slice-based view that enables 2D measurement
- Analysis Results — an output of an Analysis Workflow (e.g., Porosity Map, Mesh)
Core tools
The Project Editor’s core tools allow you to create new analyses and markup existing ones to gain insight into your CT data. Data-intense Voyager tools submit Workflows, operations that process in the background of Voyager and notify you when an analysis is complete and ready for viewing. Among the most fundamental processes in Voyager is the creation of Regions of Interest (ROI). Beyond limiting the view to a smaller area, the ROI workflow provides higher-detail data within the authored region. It is recommended to begin all scan inspections with the creation of an ROI.
Analysis Tools
Voyager’s Analysis Tools generate visualizations and quantitative results that appear as new data alongside the ROI or Reconstruction:- Use the Mesh Tool to produce a Mesh of a CT volume
- Use the Compare Tool to align and compare Meshes against each other
- Use the Import Tool to add external Meshes or CAD files into the Project Editor
- Use the suite of Porosity, Inclusion, Crack Detection, and Wall Thickness Tools for identifying and quantifying internal and external material features such as voids, inclusions, cracks, and variations in thickness.
Sharing + documentation
Turn your Project into a shareable report, or export data for use outside of Voyager, with sharing and documentation tools. Use Bookmarks to flag important views for quick access and Project collaboration, and use the Render, Screenshot, and Animation tools to produce high-quality exports of Voyager data.Advanced Tools
The Project Editor includes advanced tooling for automation and specialized workflows:- Recipes, a collection of automated, repeatable sequences of analyses available to your Organization
- Labs, Voyager’s suite of experimental apps that let you access cutting-edge tools and analysis methods in CT
Voyager Dashboards
Voyager Dashboards are the organizational and administrative layer of Voyager. The Project Dashboard and the Manager Dashboard allow teams to search and structure Projects, apply metadata, and manage access.
Projects + Workspaces
The Project Dashboard is the central location for all CT Projects, automatically populating with results from completed scans. Tags and Bulk Actions help you organize and sort your Project library by attributes. Selecting a Project from the Projects Dashboard will open the Project in the Voyager Project Editor. From the Project Dashboard you can view your Organization’s Workspaces, which define access boundaries and group related Projects — for example, by part model, internal team, or external client.Management Tools
The Manager Dashboard provides controls for user management, Workspace creation, and Organization-wide settings. Access to the Manager Dashboard is limited to the dedicated Organization Managers.Voyager Configurations
Voyager is offered as Cloud, GovCloud, and On-Prem.- Voyager Cloud is Lumafield’s standard hosted deployment, with Lumafield-managed software releases for supported hardware systems.
- Voyager GovCloud provides a similar deployment model for customers with elevated security and compliance requirements.
- Voyager On-Prem is installed within your environment, with software releases coordinated through Lumafield. See our On-Prem Power guide for server restart instructions.
