The same leaps in technology that have taken us from Pac-Man to today’s virtual-reality gaming are having a big impact on nondestructive inspection.

The Role of Simulation in Optimizing Inspection Performance

The modeling/simulation capability required depends on the complexity of the material, the part, the anomalies, the probe and the inspection technique.

The advancements in probe and controller hardware are expected to enable a new generation of phased array applications in a broad spectrum of industries.

Previously known as Informa Markets Engineering (IME) West, hosting five co-located shows — MD&M West, ATX West, D&M West, Plastec West, and WestPack — we are now merging 4 of these related industry sectors into a single unified show: MD&M West.

Our special focus on your specialty is not changing. One MD&M umbrella unites a community of multiple special interests who all share a single goal – to advance their knowledge, contacts, and progress in the rapidly accelerating world of advanced manufacturing.
