Product Overview

ExFact Analysis for Fiber is software that assesses the three dimensional structure and shape of repetitive long, thin fibrous materials such as fibers,fuel cells, and wire in images scanned with X-ray CT scan and other devices.

Features of ExFact Analysis Series

When industrial products and materials are scanned with imaging devices such as X-ray CT, Cofocal Laser Mictoscopy, and TEM Tomography, an array of segmentation images are output, which can align to construct the original object. ExFact Analysis is software that adopts 3DMA to interpret the complex image data as patterns of thin ;lines to statistically evaluate and analyze the shape of the void and its distibution, and the orientation of fibers from different perspectives.

Related Field

Material Engineering in general
Especially petroleum, rubber, plastic, resin, polymers, methanehydrate, concrete, sand, fuel cells, carbon nanotube, paper, pulp fibers, selamix, catalyst, bones, teeth, precision component, electronics, semiconductors, and so on

Overall Procedures

  1. Voids are under thinning process to be classified according to the sizes, which are colured differently. As a result, the network structure of the voids are visualized, and the tendency of the structure becomes apparent.

  2. Specifically, fibers are separated at bonds where fibers intersect before they are grouped. Then, the number of bonds per fibre, distribution of the angles at the intersection of fibers and of length of fiber,Tortuosity that is an indicator of rough orientation of fibers, and orientation of each fiber are found.
