Automotive Industry
In the automotive industry, every component must meet strict quality standards. CT inspects engine blocks, electronic systems, and structural parts, revealing internal defects, analyzing porosity, and verifying dimensional compliance. This technology speeds up development, reduces production failures, and ensures reliability, safety, and durability throughout the automotive supply chain.
Aerospace Industry
In critical sectors such as aviation and space, component integrity is vital. CT enables inspection of turbine blades, metal alloys, and composite structures, detecting microcracks, inclusions, and porosity invisible to other methods. This analysis ensures performance under extreme conditions, enhances safety, and extends the service life of aerospace components.
Archaeology and Geosciences
In archaeological and geological research, preserving samples is essential. CT enables 3D visualization of fossils, minerals, and artifacts without damaging them, revealing internal structures and inclusions. This technology helps to understand composition, history, and preservation of unique materials, supporting scientific studies of high cultural value.
Science and Research
Exploring material interiors without destruction is essential for scientific research. CT provides 3D visualization of complex structures and reliable quantitative measurements. With Volume Graphics, it is possible to analyze fossils, biological specimens, archaeological or advanced materials, ensuring reproducible results. This approach opens new perspectives for discovery and accelerates knowledge development.
Medical Devices and Biomaterials
The quality of implants and medical devices directly impacts patient health. CT enables inspection of prostheses, stents, and biomaterials, evaluating integrity, porosity, and dimensional compliance. This analysis ensures that each component meets strict standards, enhancing clinical safety and confidence in innovative medical solutions.
Failure Analysis
When a component fails, finding the cause is essential. CT enables inspection of the part’s interior without destroying it, revealing cracks, inclusions, porosities, or assembly defects. With this information, it is possible to identify the root cause, prevent recurrence, improve design, and ensure greater safety and reliability in the final product.
CAD-to-Part Comparison
Deviations between the CAD model and the manufactured part can affect performance and quality. CT enables overlaying the digital with the real, identifying dimensional variations, manufacturing defects, and non-conformities. This analysis speeds up development, supports process correction, and ensures the final product matches the original design.
Porosity Analysis
Internal porosities can compromise the strength and durability of metallic or polymer parts. With Computed Tomography (CT) and Volume Graphics software, we identify and quantify each void in 3D, analyzing volume, shape, and location. This data ensures compliance with standards, supports manufacturing optimization, and guarantees the reliability of the final product
Porosities and Cracks in Carbon Parts
In carbon and composite parts, cracks or porosities can lead to severe in-service failures. CT reveals these imperfections in detail, measuring their extent and propagation within the material. This analysis provides essential data to strengthen quality control, enhance safety, and extend the service life of high-performance components.
Component Positioning
Incorrect positioning of internal components can compromise overall functionality. Computed Tomography enables 3D visualization of the interior, confirming whether each part is correctly assembled according to design. This verification prevents assembly failures, reduces rework, and increases the reliability of technical products.
Fiber Analysis in Composites
Fiber orientation and continuity directly influence the mechanical performance of composite materials. CT enables 3D visualization of fiber distribution, assessing homogeneity, alignment, and potential defects. This information supports process optimization, improves structural quality, and reduces the risk of premature failures in service.
CT Dimensional Metrology
Accurately measuring internal and external geometries is a challenge for complex parts. CT provides reliable 3D measurements, including wall thickness, gaps, and volumes, without cutting or destroying the part. This technology ensures dimensional compliance, reduces manufacturing errors, and improves quality control efficiency.
Battery Inspection
Battery safety and performance depend on the integrity of internal layers. CT and Volume Graphics software enable non-destructive inspection of cylindrical, prismatic, and pouch cells, analyzing electrode and separator alignment, thickness, and positioning. It is possible to detect folds, misalignments, and inclusions, preventing failures, improving reliability, and ensuring compliance with design specifications.
Additive Manufacturing
In additive manufacturing, every detail matters for quality. CT enables non-destructive layer-by-layer inspection of parts, from powder to final product. It is possible to compare with CAD, analyze material distribution, detect porosities, and verify structural integrity, ensuring consistent performance and reducing production defects.
Injection Moulding
In injection moulding, quality depends on the absence of internal defects and dimensional accuracy. CT detects porosities, sink marks, voids, and deformations without damaging the part. It also enables CAD comparison, tolerance validation, and process optimization. This control ensures stronger parts, reduced waste, and greater reliability in the final product.
Connector Analysis
Defective connectors are a major cause of electronic failures. CT allows evaluation of terminal positioning, soldering quality, and the presence of internal short circuits. This analysis ensures compliance with assembly specifications, reduces breakdowns, and secures stable connections in demanding environments.
Electronic Component Analysis
The integrity of electronic circuits is crucial for equipment performance. CT enables detailed inspection of boards and components, detecting soldering defects, faulty connections, and potential short circuits. This non-destructive analysis ensures assembly quality, prevents failures in service, and strengthens product reliability.
PCB Solder Joint Inspection
In dense PCBs, solder joint quality—especially BGA, QFN, and LGA—is critical. CT reveals hidden joints, quantifies void percentage, wetting, and ball collapse, and detects bridging, opens, and head-in-pillow. 3D analysis measures reflowed paste volume, fillet height, and coplanarity, against common acceptance criteria (e.g., IPC). The outcome is reduced rework, higher field reliability, and metrological traceability across the process.
Via and Through-Hole Integrity
PTH vias, microvias, and plated holes can hide 2D-invisible defects: barrel cracks, delamination, copper voids, annular ring misregistration, or bubbles in via-in-pad fills. With 3D CT we inspect the full via length, measuring plating thickness, eccentricity, and occlusions. This volumetric view validates stacked microvias, prevents intermittent failures, and optimizes drilling, electroplating, and lamination steps.
Underfill, Encapsulation and Conformal Coating
Encapsulants, underfill, and conformal coatings protect electronics, yet internal defects degrade reliability. CT maps coverage beneath components, thickness and meniscus profiles, detecting voids, bubbles, air channels, and delamination. It quantifies volumes and continuity, assesses intrusion under BGAs/QFNs, and correlates with thermal stress. The result is fewer latent failures and improved environmental robustness of the product.
Reverse Engineering
CT enables scanning of existing parts, even without documentation, creating detailed 3D models. These models can be converted into CAD for replication, modification, or optimization. CT-based reverse engineering is a powerful tool for maintenance, innovation, and faithful reproduction of complex components, reducing development time and costs.
