Industrial tomography is a non-destructive diagnostic method that uses X-rays to obtain three-dimensional images of the interior and exterior of a component, identifying any defects such as porosity, discontinuities, deformations, geometric and metrological problems.
Tests are necessary to fine-tune innovative solutions for products and components across various application sectors.

Tomographic analysis and subsequent reconstruction using VG Studio Max software provide an external and internal overview of the component, making it possible to investigate the presence of: - defects in the material - assembly errors in areas that are normally inaccessible and/or invisible - component malfunctions - errors in the alignment of internal components
The GE V TOME X M300 microfocus tomograph offers the best compromise between power (up to 300kV/500W) and resolution, with detail recognition below one micron. The ‘metrology edition’ version also allows precision measurements to be taken with an accuracy of 4+L/100um, in accordance with VDI 2630 guidelines. These features allow dimensional checks to be carried out on both external and internal parts of the sample, which is particularly important in additive manufacturing. The VG Studio Max software also allows nominal-actual 3D CAD comparisons, wall thickness measurements and reverse engineering.
The V TOME X M300 industrial microCT system is equipped with scatter-correct technology that offers superior image quality and 3D volume reconstruction compared to conventional CT systems. This allows internal analysis of defects in both metal and polymer components, such as cracks, inclusions and porosity. The latter can be analysed quantitatively in 3D, obtaining the main dimensional characteristics (volume, diameter, position, etc.).
The segmentation feature in the processing software allows for the analysis, visualisation and virtual separation of the parts that make up the scanned object. This allows for the verification of correct assembly, the measurement of geometric and dimensional tolerances and the analysis of interference between internal parts that would otherwise not be detectable without disassembling the sample.
All analyses can be structured in a completely customised manner, based on customer requirements. We offer tailor-made tests for materials, conditions of use and required regulations, ensuring reliable and targeted results.
