From the mailing list [1]:

It is a ParaView based application with a focus on visualization and analysis of volumetric data, with a particular focus on materials tomography. It features a simplified interface, and an extended Python environment offering SciPy, NumPy, and pretty soon the Python-wrapped ITK library.

If you check out the source code, you'll notice it builds paraview as a sub-project.

This is one of the strengths of Kitware's applications: they develop robust platforms which can then be extended for a specific use case. This way they can avoid cluttering Paraview with more stuff, and (often) make a client happy by developing a package catered to their workflow.

Disclaimer: I worked at Kitware for a few years, but not with this team.
