Batteries are key to electrification, demanding high-quality control and efficient production. The use of Automated Defect Recognition (ADR) and other technologies is critical as the industry aims to scale up to meet the rising demand from electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage sectors, while also minimizing environmental impacts.

The push for smaller, more complex device components has spiked the need for precise, non-damaging metrology, with 3D X-ray microscopy (XRM) leading the way. This technology offers high-resolution measurements critical for quality control in the electronics and manufacturing industries.

Discover the secrets behind X-ray CT system design and learn how rapid scanning can revolutionize production quality control. Uncover hidden internal voids, inclusions, and defects in molded and die-casted products—all without a single destructive test.

Additive manufacturing (AM) has been forging ahead rapidly in both technological capabilities and industry adoption in recent years. 

It all starts with the question, "How can we clearly see what is going on inside our product without damaging it?"

The imaging/inspection method has greatly evolved since its inception and it is now used in many industries for diverse types of product. 

I often hear, “How accurate can this be measured using CT?” For CT accuracy and precision should be considered together. For accuracy versus precision, picture a target.

Almost every industry has seen explosive growth in additive manufacturing (AM or 3D printing) of metal components, either for prototyping or low to medium volume manufacture of often high value and safety critical parts.

Every business or service today has some form of quality control or quality assurance. With such high market competition, quality has become the market differentiator for almost all products and services.

Standards and regulations rule the aerospace industry. Inspections and reviews are crucial to passenger and flight safety, but compliance with these standards can become time consuming and expensive.
