Additive manufacturing: new possibilities, new challenges.
By offering completely new geometric possibilities, additive manufacturing (AM) has changed the way engineers think about product design. However, the more complex the designs become, the more difficult it is to check the components for defects and irregularities. Because additive manufacturing and computed tomography are both 3D technologies, they have always worked together naturally. As a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique, computed tomography virtually eliminates any evaluation error and provides an accurate visual image of internal spatial structures, densities and wall thicknesses.
Computed tomography: more than just a quality assurance tool.
In quality assurance and quality control, computed tomography has long and rightly taken its place as a powerful non-destructive testing (NDT) technology. Manufacturers are now increasingly discovering its capabilities as a process improvement tool. In research and development, computed tomography enables engineers to gather valuable information about the quality of 3D printed products and feed this information back into the production cycle to continuously improve AM processes, reducing costs, risks and lead times.
