This image is of an inside contour surface of a 1000-micron aluminum tube produced by direct metal laser sintering (DMLS). Reconstructed surface contours like this created in Imaris from X5000 Xray CT data, are used to compare the geometrical parameters of the printed object to the design. The sample was scanned using the X5000 NSI High Resolution MicroCT and rendered in 3D using Imaris at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology Core Facility.
