01 Failure Analysis & Defects

3D X-ray volumetric reconstruction to inspect the inside of components without damage. In quality control and failure analysis, it isolates 3D porosity, cracks, and inclusions while detecting assembly errors, misalignment of internal components, or structural voids hidden to traditional NDT methods.

02 Precision 3D Metrology

The industrial tomograph Baker Hughes GE Phoenix V | Tome | The X M300 is a cutting-edge instrument that guarantees maximum accuracy in the field of Tomographic Metrology.
Its "Metrology Edition" configuration is specifically optimized for measurement, providing results that meet the highest international standards:
Certified Precision: Ability to perform precision measurements with accuracy specifications of 4+L/100, in full compliance with the rigorous VDI 2630 guidelines.
High Resolution: Microfocus technology (up to 300kV/500W) allows the identification of sub-micron details, making Industrial Tomography crucial for the measurement of micro-components and defects.

Industrial CT is the preferred solution for 3D metrology when transparency is crucial:

Internal Geometry Measurement: It allows for precise measurement of holes, channels, and internal cavities without destroying or disassembling the sample, providing a complete view of the object.

Additive Manufacturing Verification: It is the primary metrology tool for complex and organic parts produced via 3D printing (Additive Manufacturing), verifying internal and external geometric compliance.

Deviation Analysis: Using software such as VG Studio Max, it is possible to perform a nominal-to-actual 3D CAD comparison, quickly identifying any dimensional deviations and accelerating the quality control process.

In summary, Industrial Tomography (CT), exemplified by Baker Hughes GE Phoenix V | Tome | X M300, is not just a non-destructive inspection technique, but the future of high precision 3D Metrology.
