Introduction Foundries operate in a high‑stakes manufacturing environment where quality, reliability, and production efficiency must align. While casting technology has advanced significantly, one challenge remains constant: many of the costliest defects occur inside the part. Porosity, shrinkage, inclusions, and internal geometry deviations often remain hidden until machining, pressure testing, or field performance exposes the problem. By the time these issues appear, manufacturers have already invested significant time and cost into the component. Industrial CT scanning provides a new level of visibility. By capturing a complete three‑dimensional dataset of a casting, engineers can inspect internal features, quantify defects, and verify geometry without destroying the part. [...]
