The 3D Imaging Centre at DTU is a competence centre for X-ray and neutron imaging. At the 3D Imaging Centre we host the Danish national research infrastructure for X-ray imaging, DANFIX, with space for 10 CT instruments, currently having four commercial ones, and three unique instruments under construction. The facility is used for research and education within a broad range of natural, technical and health disciplines,  it supports the digitization of natural and cultural heritage in Denmark, and it is available to national and international companies via the imaging industry portal. The portal has collaborated with 70 companies on 195 projects since the first CT instrument was acquired in 2013. The portal is part of the national societal partnership “Linking Industry with Neutrons and X-rays” and the project "Motorway for Materials Science". 

The large amount of data and their high complexity imply that data analysis often takes 10-100 times longer than the data acquisition. To alleviate this problem DTU, KU, LU, MAX-IV and ESS have established a joint data analysis centre, QIM,  for imaging data from MAX IV, ESS and 3DIM. One branch of QIM is located within the 3DIM premises and collaborates also closely with the imaging industry portal.
