The Future Is Red, White, and Blue
Volume Graphics is proud to support Alpine F1® Team as part of a multi-year agreement. Since 2016, the team uses VGSTUDIO MAX for the analysis and visualization of CT data. CT and Volume Graphics have, since then, contributed to a significant increase in the analysis capabilities of Alpine F1 Team's test laboratory.
"Creating a Level of Confidence That We Perhaps Haven't Seen Before"
"Personally, the use of Volume Graphics within our department, within the non-destructive testing department, is creating a level of confidence that we perhaps haven't seen before. It gives you dimensional accuracies, it gives you a greater understanding of the overall part. And with that comes confidence."
Adrian Talbot, Head of Non-Destructive Testing at Alpine F1 Team
"Racing is the essence of what Volume Graphics stands for: speed, precision, and engineering excellence. Our software is used daily by numerous customers around the world to inspect the most advanced and complex components. But a high-performance sport like this takes us to totally new, previously unknown limits. Overcoming these limits not only helps Alpine F1 Team but all of our other customers."
Christof Reinhart, CEO Volume Graphics GmbH
"I would recommend Volume Graphics, because it's quite easy to learn how to use it and it is a software that you can do an incredible number of analyses with."
Aude Laurence, Material Dr.Eng. & CT Advisor at Alpine F1 Team
How Alpine F1 Team Uses Volume Graphics
"To know that that part is correct, is uniform, and it's fit for purpose is key to us.
And to do it in the time frame that Volume Graphics allows us to process, is hugely beneficial to our team. With CT and utilizing the Volume Graphics software on a standard assembly, it would take 20 minutes. With the current method, like ultrasound, the whole item could take a day. So, within our non-destructive testing facility, we've never had that ability to be able to inspect so many different materials with one method."
"We use Volume Graphics to assess intricate titanium additive manufactured parts.
Inside there, there are very, very small holes that assess the pressure, the air pressure, of the car traveling down the main strait of a racetrack. ...
... So it's very important for us to know before this is applied or attached to the car that every channel inside this pitot tube is not blocked, it has good surface finish, and that the general integrity of those tubes are complete and fit for purpose."
"We take great strides into making sure that the composite brake pedal is tested vigorously.
Because we can separate the part digitally, we can essentially cut the part in half without physically having to cut the part in half. ...
... And that creates again an enormous amount of feedback to our relevant departments, but also gives us a greater understanding of perhaps why something has failed."
"I see Volume Graphics software as an extremely useful tool in our toolbox.
It's clearly going to help us develop our own processes internally and create a more free-flowing, fast-flowing process environment within our non-destructive testing department."
Your Pit Stop for Quality
Around the world customers such as Alpine F1 Team put their trust in Volume Graphics. Not only in our insightful software, but also in our comprehensive consulting, support, and training. Volume Graphics gives them a decisive advantage: The ability to gain reliable insights and make better products.
Volume Graphics Software for Quality Control in:
Additive Manufacturing
VGSTUDIO MAX is your tool for identifying the most important 3D printing defects—from raw material to the post-processed end product. Perform powder and meltpool data analyses, take dimensional measurements of all surfaces—even if they are inside your additively manufactured part—and find defects of all shapes and sizes.
Casting
Volume Graphics software is your tool for identifying the most important casting defects such as porosity, inclusions, shrinkage, and warpage. Volume Graphics offers the tools necessary for CT-based quality assurance across the life cycle of cast components, from designing the part to automatically inspecting it: geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, mold cavity correction, wall thickness analysis, nominal/actual comparison, defect detection, virtual machining, and stress simulation.
Injection Molding
Volume Graphics supports you in all phases of injection molding, from part design and process simulation to automated inspection. With VGSTUDIO MAX, you get a comprehensive software that offers tools for geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, mold cavity correction, wall thickness analysis, nominal/actual comparison, porosity and inclusion analyses, tool optimization, volume meshing, and fiber analyses.
