Industrial CT (Industrial Computed Tomography) is a powerful non-destructive 3D imaging technology designed for inspecting and analyzing the internal structure of industrial components. Compared to traditional inspection methods such as ultrasonic testing or destructive sectioning, Industrial CT offers high-resolution volumetric imaging without damaging the sample, making it ideal for advanced quality control, reverse engineering, and failure analysis. It enables detailed visualization and measurement of internal features like porosity, cracks, wall thickness, assembly fit, and material interfaces — significantly boosting manufacturing precision and reliability.
Industrial CT operates using the principle of X-ray attenuation. By acquiring hundreds to thousands of 2D X-ray projections from different angles, a full 3D model of the part is reconstructed:
Our Industrial CT scanning workflow typically follows these steps:
Typically up to 300 mm diameter and 500 mm height; contact us for custom scanning options.
Yes, down to 10–30 μm depending on the sample size and resolution setting.
Absolutely. We offer STL export, deviation analysis, and CAD overlay functions.
Yes, it works well for scanning combinations of metals, plastics, and ceramics, with adjusted contrast settings.
Industrial CT is widely applied across various industries for the internal evaluation of medium to large-scale components:
This investigates the effect of different cutoff lengths on the surface roughness measurement of a non-periodic ground sample. The provided image shows the surface profile curves and corresponding Ra values for the same sample (nominal Ra = 0.408 μm) measured at four different cutoff lengths: 0.08 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.8 mm, and 2.5 mm. As the cutoff length increases, the surface profile reveals more detailed features, and the measured Ra value rises from 0.165 μm to 0.410 μm, gradually approaching the nominal value. This demonstrates that the choice of cutoff length significantly influences the roughness results, with larger cutoff lengths providing measurements that better reflect the actual surface characteristics of non-periodic samples.
