This is a CT scan of a recalled Takata airbag assembly. Sectioning in, we see the folded airbag itself, then the propellant chamber with two explosives (“energetic materials”). Something’s missing that makes this unit especially unsafe…

Guess the scan! This is an industrial X-ray CT scan of a familiar product. Can you tell what it is?

This is a CT scan of an Intel 386 processor from the mid-1980s that we ran for Ken Shirriff! He used it to produce the first ever public mapping of the package, and he discovered an interesting manufacturing step along the way. Link below... 👇

I had no idea! Liquid nitrogen is added to bottled water before it's capped so that it expands as it evaporates, pressurizing the bottle. Bottled water needs to be stackable for shipping and storage without much additional packaging, and the pressure makes the bottles stronger.

The microcontroller looks like an ordinary IC when we view it as a 2D X-ray image, but when we look at a 3D CT scan and adjust the visualization parameters, we can see another detail emerge: a second set of wire bonds, connected to a second die that’s stacked on top of the main processor. This hidden die could be an enormous security risk–and it’s completely hidden in an ordinary 2D X-ray image.

We also worked with the folks at JigSpace to view one of our scans in 3D (this is a Luer lock–check out the thread for more on how these ingenious medical connectors work).

Meet Triton, our automated, high-throughput industrial CT scanner. It integrates directly into production lines, loads parts automatically, and delivers real-time go/no-go decisions. It also generates lots of rich, valuable data as it scans. More on that in a minute...
