Material Analysis/NDT

Overview
Non-destructive testing (NDT) plays a crucial role in various fields such as electronics, engineering, additive manufacturing, and plastic molding by allowing the inspection of materials and components without causing damage. Micro-CT (micro-computed tomography) and micro-XRF (micro-X-ray fluorescence) are advanced NDT techniques that offer detailed insights into the internal structure and composition of materials at a micro-scale. Micro-CT provides high-resolution 3D images, essential for detecting internal flaws and verifying the integrity of complex geometries in additive manufacturing and molded parts. Micro-XRF, on the other hand, enables precise elemental analysis, crucial for ensuring material composition and quality in electronics and engineering applications. Together, these technologies enhance quality control, reduce the risk of failures, and improve product reliability. For companies seeking to leverage these advanced NDT methods, we offer comprehensive analysis services and proof of concept tests to demonstrate their efficacy in real-world applications.

X-ray CT improves all stages of product life cycles in the industrial sector

X-ray Computed Tomography is the most advanced technology for 3D inspection. As a nondestructive imaging technique, it operates at all stages of the product life cycle. As a powerful 3D method, it offers a significant advantage for various industries because of its ability to reveal hidden details of parts. Thus, getting a perfect insight into the invisible features of parts allows to capture, investigate, measure & analyze internal and external structures of components in a nondestructive way.

  1. R&D

The development of a new product can easily be time and cost-consuming. To speed up the launch and be sure of the product, CT is used to provide immediate scanning data and characterize materials’ microstructure.

  1. Design

Testing out different design ideas includes new and innovative methods but also the use of reverse engineering for existing part geometries. Shaping complex structural components are always easier thanks to 3D rendering and measurement meets expectations.

  1. Engineering

Computed Tomography is also mainly used as a tool to validated engineered design. The product integrity is inspected to ensure the stability of the components to assemble and their efficiency. Getting all the scanning data before testing the prototypes, gets you important information and saves time.

  1. Prototyping

Checking out the newly manufactured product before launch is now an easy task with CT: no need to cut your sample, CT is a nondestructive technology giving you the option to keep precious information and not ruin your parts. Comparing the expected results with the outcome gives you a better

 

  1. Production

Although CT is traditionally used in labs, during the last ten years it has become an important tool for what we call Inline CT (a computed tomography technique used for production). This means that monitoring production means detecting defects, porosity, inclusions… at the same time your manufacturing process keeps on operating. This gives you immediate feedback on your parts to optimize the production process.

  1. Failure Analysis

CT controls effectively all components features and not only reduces consistently the time to market for your products, but it also saves money by avoiding unwanted damage to the product.  Figuring out your parts' issues and their performance is quickly determined with CT by going beyond monitoring.

  1. Warranty & Reclaim

With CT, you will inspect and analyze flaws in a nondestructive way to determine defect origins. Guaranteeing product liability won’t be challenging with CT as the root of your products’ problem is detected to its root.
