The distribution of grains in cubic Boron Nitride (cBN) in a polymer matrix composite (PMC) was analyzed using Robo-Met.3D®. The Robo-Met.3D system revealed the desired features in the sample. Post-processing segmentation was used to reveal the size and shape distribution of grains. 3D analysis revealed a consistent volume percentage of grain distribution, compared to the section-to-section variability observed in conventional 2D analysis.
