Full featured Computed Tomography for $100,000
IMTEC Corporation proudly presents the SPRITE, a revolutionary new low cost,
small footprint CT system. Designed with a new level of ease of use and
scanning speed, the SPRITE joins IMTEC’s line of industry leading industrial
scanning systems.
IMTEC INTRODUCES THE SPRITE CT SYSTEM
“IMTEC has greatly simplified CT with the introduction of the SPRITE,” said IMTEC President and CEO Tim Thompson. “With this new user-friendly machine, CT is now practical for users of all levels of experience.”
The system uses state-of-the art touchscreen technology as its User Interface, and an advanced 4-stage rotary system to simplify and ensure successful scanning setup and execution. “The SPRITE system represents a revolution in Computed Tomography. It brings many new innovations to market all in one package - low cost, convenient size and automated scanning. SPRITE will vastly expand the 3D scanning market,” said Tom Nora, IMTEC Product Manager for CT Technologies.
The IMTEC Technology Center in Los Alamos, New Mexico is well known for over a decade’s worth of experience in industrial imaging. Drawing on this experience and expertise, IMTEC has created a simple system that retains all of the features associated with IMTEC’s Industrial FlashCT® product line. The result is a system that can be used with minimal training and setup, allowing the user to begin scanning immediately. Using the SPRITE is as simple as placing a sample on the stage, closing the door and pressing “SCAN.”
The SPRITE also has other convenient features: rollers for ease of movement and dimensions small enough to allow passage through any conventional doorway. With the SPRITE, IMTEC continues to realize its long term strategy of incorporating FlashCT® imaging technology in areas not previously associated with industrial and healthcare 3D imaging.
