About

Lorenz Butzhammer is a researcher specializing in industrial x-ray computed tomography (CT), with a particular focus on advanced scan trajectory design, system calibration, and dimensional metrology. His work addresses a fundamental challenge in nondestructive testing: reducing measurement artifacts that arise from the limitations of conventional circular scan trajectories. By leveraging hexapod-based six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) object manipulator systems, Butzhammer has pioneered the development and implementation of complex 3D scan trajectories that expand the geometric flexibility of industrial CT systems, enabling more accurate and reliable measurements of large-scale or geometrically challenging objects. His most cited contribution, a 2021 paper on complex 3D scan trajectories using a hexapod (17 citations), established a foundation for rethinking how CT data is acquired in industrial settings. His subsequent work on single-sphere calibration methods (10 citations) provided practical solutions for accurately characterizing these advanced setups. More recently, he has investigated how pose repeatability influences dimensional measurement accuracy in high-DOF CT systems (3 citations), underscoring his commitment to translating theoretical advances into reliable metrology practice. Butzhammer's research is helping shape the next generation of flexible, high-accuracy industrial CT measurement systems.
