With 3D-CTVicwer the export of slice-contours from parts inside the data volume is possible via the DXF-format. From these contours a two-dimensional comparison to the CAD geometry is possible if the coordinate system and the absolute scaling between both methods are well known. 

Another interesting tool is to export the samples Isosurface hull to CAD for best matehing and afterwards comparison in 3D. Therefor a polygon export in DXF and the polygon reduction is implemented. 

Therefore it is reasonable to prepare already the data acquisition for a three dimensional evaluation in cone-beam-technique by means of two-dimensional detectors. The system is already prepared to integrate a second detector- system for this purpose. An array of up to four flat panel detectors is foreseen. The detector- elements are based on amorphous silicon. Because of the high photon energy and the high dose rates special attention was necessary to protect the read-out electronics. Details of the detector arrangement and the software for reconstruction, visualisation and comparison between the CT results and CAD data are part of a separate paper during this conference [2]. 

ProcGen generates a scaled 3D model of the test specimen geometry, in the form of a faceted boundary representation. This model is made available for use by other software tasks in the system. The STEP file format (the ISO standard for product data exchange) was chosen to provide future compatibility with CAD models produced externally. In particular part 204 (faceted b-rep) of this standard is used. 

In UltraSIM/UlSim the ultrasonic sound propagation from a virtual ultrasonic transducer can be simulated in ray tracing mode in any isotropic and homogeneous 3D geometry, including possible mode conversions phenomenons, etc. The CAD geometry for the simulation is a 3D NURBS surface model of the test object. It can be created in ROBCAD or imported from another 3D CAD system. 

Collision of normal ions from the first quadrupole with gas molecules in the second quadrupole increases fragmentation, a process known as either collisionally induced dissociation (CID) or collisionally activated decomposition (CAD). 

Collision-induced dissociation (or decomposition), abbreviated CID. An ion/neutral process wherein the (fast) projectile ion is dissociated as a result of interaction with a target neutral species. This is brought about by conversion during the collision of part of the translational energy of the ion to internal energy in the ion. The term collisional-activated dissociation (or decomposition), abbreviated CAD, is also used.
