Abstract: Systems and methods for manufacturing and inspecting a honeycomb structure. A method for inspecting includes generating a three-dimensional volume file of the honeycomb structure from x-ray images. The three-dimensional volume file is reduced to two-dimensional data sets. One or more structural features of interest are tracked through the three-dimensional volume file by identifying a portion of the structural feature in a plurality of the two-dimensional data sets. A geometric contour of the structural feature of interest is derived from data corresponding to the structure feature of interest in the two-dimensional data sets. A planar representation of the structural feature of interest is created by extracting data from the three-dimensional volume file in accordance with the geometric contour. At least one structural condition of the honeycomb structure is determined based on the planar representation of the structural feature of interest.
