The company behind these scans is https://www.lumafield.com/ - a really cool way to do marketing for your product. Love it!

I was thinking this is "will it blend?" applied to some company's product. Looks like they sell industrial CT equipment and software.

This is not really surprising considering that it's basically a (very cool) marketing article for their equipment.

I'm pretty sure that sentence was supposed to be a joke. First of all, everybody knows this, secondly you really don't need a CT scanner to measure the diameter of a thing.
