The image shows the density of 1x2x2 cm^3 cube of a manufactured 316 stainless steel block using selective laser sintering (a 3D-printing process). The CT scan helps in determining defects produced in the material during the manufacturing process. This was scanned using the NSI X-5000 3D micro CT system and rendered using NSI efX software at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology Core Facility.
