X-ray Inspection and Industrial Computed Tomography
Seeing beyond the surface
X-ray inspection and industrial computed tomography (CT) services enable the internal analysis of parts and assemblies without any destruction, providing critical information that is not accessible through conventional inspection methods.
These services allow companies to:
- detect internal defects such as porosity, cracks and inclusions
- validate internal channels and complex geometries
- measure internal dimensions with high accuracy
- analyse assembled components without disassembly
- correlate defects with manufacturing processes
Sector application examples:
- Manufacturing industry: internal defect detection in cast, injected or machined parts
- Automotive and components: inspection of structural components, housings, injection systems and assembled parts
- Batteries and electronics: analysis of cells, internal joints and structural integrity
- Aerospace: validation of critical components and internal dimensional control
- Defence and military sector: inspection of high-criticality components
- Healthcare: internal analysis of medical devices and technical components
This type of inspection helps to reduce risk, prevent field failures and improve final product robustness.
Dimensional metrology and quality control
Precision that supports decision-making
NM3D provides advanced dimensional metrology services, ensuring reliable, traceable measurements aligned with the most demanding industrial requirements.
Metrology services include:
- dimensional inspection of parts and assemblies
- first article inspection and pre-series validation
- in-process and final quality control
- measurement of large-scale components
- laboratory-based or on-site measurements at customer facilities
Sector application examples:
- Metalworking industry: dimensional control of machined and welded components
- Automotive: validation of critical parts prior to series production
- Aerospace: high-precision dimensional inspection to meet regulatory requirements
- Energy: measurement of large components for turbines, structures and equipment
- Defence: strict tolerance control of sensitive components
These services enable companies to ensure conformity, reduce rework and stabilise manufacturing processes.
3D digitisation and Reverse Engineering
Transforming physical parts into digital data
3D digitisation and reverse engineering services allow accurate capture of real-world geometries, even for large components, complex surfaces or hard-to-access areas.
NM3D supports companies with:
- reverse engineering of parts without existing CAD data
- comparison between nominal CAD models and actual parts
- analysis of deformation, wear and geometric deviations
- digital documentation of existing components
Sector application examples:
- Mould industry: digitisation of legacy moulds for re-engineering, correction or maintenance
- Industrial maintenance: reproduction of discontinued parts
- Energy and heavy industry: on-site digitisation of large-scale components
- Aerospace and defence: dimensional analysis of complex structures
- Automotive: rapid geometric validation in production environments
Reverse engineering enables companies to save time, reduce errors and preserve technical know-how.
Additive manufacturing and industrial prototyping
From concept to functional part
In the field of additive manufacturing and 3D printing, NM3D offers industrial-grade services with the capability to produce large-format parts, functional prototypes, small series and technical components.
Additive manufacturing services enable companies to:
- accelerate product development
- validate geometries and functionality
- produce functional parts for real-world use
- reduce initial tooling and industrialisation costs
Large-format production capability allows NM3D to address projects requiring scale, robustness and flexibility, clearly differentiating its service offering.
Sector application examples:
- Manufacturing industry: functional prototypes and production aids
- Automotive: component validation prior to investment in final tooling
- Energy: production of technical parts and functional supports
- Healthcare: technical prototypes and customised components
- Defence: production of technical components in small series
Complementary services ensuring operational continuity
In addition to core technical services, NM3D provides:
- measurement process programming and integration
- accredited maintenance and calibration
- specialised technical support, on-site and remote
This continuous support ensures customers maintain performance, accuracy and reliability over time.
