Some parts have always been too big or too dense to fit in our other CT scanners. Not anymore. 🪐 Meet Saturn, our large-volume, high-energy industrial CT scanner built for the parts that used to get outsourced, or cut apart. It scans objects up to almost 2 feet wide and over 3 feet tall, sees through 4 inches of light metal, and runs on the same Voyager platform as Neptune, Triton, and Mars.

You probably let at least one Tamagotchi perish, right? We CT scanned the new 2nd gen Tamagotchi and found the tiny quartz crystal that keeps your pet alive, aging, and asking for more food. Tag someone who let theirs starve. 👇

All of this is enabled by a new generation of X-ray and CT scanners that we’ve announced this summer; Triton Performance and Mars can scan large volumes of products very quickly, bringing this level of intelligent quality control to production scale for the first time.
