This dataset contains micro-computed tomography images of an additively manufactured (powder bed fusion of metals using a laser beam, PBF-LB/M) demonstrator part intended for thermal applications. The part consists of branching internal fluid channels and has been generated via _Algorithms-Aided Design_ using the software _Grasshopper_. * __Outer Dimensions:__ 30 x 29 x 56 mm³ * __Wall Thickness:__ 0.6 mm * __Channel Diameters:__ * 4 mm (Inner Channels) * 8 mm (Inlet + Outlet) * __Material:__ 1.2709 (MS1) * __PBF-LB Machine:__ EOS EOSINT M 280 * __µCT Scanner:__ Bruker SkyScan 1275 ![Volumetric Representation](https://data.uni-hannover.de/dataset/360098ca-9e6f-47ef-8ca5-aec6acb8a278/resource/019ca72d-c462-4497-bd9b-1bc3ff388858/download/ct_50_um_rec0000_voi_a.png ) Volumetric representation of the obtained CT data ### References: This data was obtained in the context of the bachelor thesis: * Messmann, C.
