What types of materials can be inspected by X-ray?

Industrial tomography is ideal for plastics, polymers, rubbers, composites, aluminium and other light alloys. For very dense materials (such as steels or heavy alloys), penetration capacity depends on the thickness and size of the part, something our team evaluates on a case-by-case basis.

Is it possible to obtain CAD files from tomography?

Yes. The volumetric data from tomography can be converted into a highly detailed point cloud or polygonal mesh (STL). From there, we can perform reverse engineering to deliver a perfect CAD model (STEP/IGES) of the inside and outside of the part.

What accuracy is achieved in tomography measurements?

Accuracy depends on the size of the part and the equipment used, but for small and medium-sized components we can achieve laboratory-level (micrometric) accuracies, allowing us to validate critical parts for the automotive, medical and aerospace sectors.

3D visualisation of industrial computed tomography of a complex part

Specialised Services

Industrial Computed Tomography Metrology and 3D X-Ray Inspection

Access the inside of your parts and complex assemblies without destroying them. Our industrial Computed Tomography (CT) technology enables non-destructive analysis of the highest precision, revealing hidden flaws, material defects and internal dimensions that traditional methods cannot reach.

// INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

Main Applications

Porosity Analysis

Detection, quantification and 3D location of voids and inclusions in plastic injection or metal casting parts, ensuring the structural integrity of the component.

Non-destructive inspection of electronic circuits and solder joints by X-ray

Electrical Circuit Analysis

Detailed inspection of solder joints (BGA, SMD), PCBs and connections in sealed electronic components, with no need for disassembly or risk of damage.

$Failure analysis and internal fractures in a metal component by CT$

Failure Analysis

Advanced investigation to determine the root cause of fractures. We accurately identify hidden cracks, material defects and internal fatigue points.

Assembly analysis and internal fits in an automotive assembly by tomography

Component Assembly Analysis

Verification of the behaviour of already assembled complex systems. We analyse gaps, interferences, fits and the exact positioning of internal parts.

// TECHNICAL OUTPUTS

What We Deliver

Werth computed tomography system inspecting internal dimensions of a part

Internal Metrology (GD&T)

Non-Destructive Measurement of Hidden Dimensions

Tomography is not only for seeing flaws.

We extract rigorous dimensional measurements of internal channels, wall thicknesses and complex geometries that would be impossible to access with CMM or optical systems, delivering complete metrology reports.

3D colour deviation map between CT volume and original CAD model

CAD vs. Real Part Comparison

Colour Maps and 3D Deviations

We overlay the volume generated by X-ray onto the original CAD model.

This visual analysis allows us to instantly detect warping, shrinkage and geometric defects both on the external surface and in the absolute interior of the part.

Wall Thickness Analysis

Strict Tolerance Control

We generate visual maps and numerical reports that identify critical areas where wall thickness is outside the nominal tolerance, vital data for avoiding weaknesses in moulds and injected parts.

// FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Computed Tomography: FAQ

Absolutely none. Computed tomography is a non-destructive test (NDT). The part is exposed to X-rays and virtually reconstructed in 3D, remaining 100% intact for subsequent functional tests or integration into the assembly line.
