Solutions
Start with your challenge, not a technology
You don't have a CT problem or an ultrasonics problem — you have a defect to find, a material to verify, a tolerance to prove. Each solution explains the challenge, the possible inspection methods and how to choose between them.
Find the challenge that matches your situation
Each page covers the challenge, why it matters, possible inspection methods, recommended technologies, typical industries and the questions manufacturers usually ask.
Material Identification
Confirm exactly what an alloy or metal is before it reaches your process.
Learn moreWeld Inspection
Detect and size weld defects with traceable, defensible results.
Learn moreSurface Measurement
Quantify roughness, texture and microgeometry on functional surfaces.
Learn moreInternal Defect Detection
Find porosity, voids, cracks and inclusions inside parts non-destructively.
Learn moreDimensional Inspection
Verify complete geometry against CAD and prove conformance fast.
Learn moreReverse Engineering
Digitize physical parts into accurate models for redesign and reproduction.
Learn moreFailure Analysis
Understand why a part failed — geometry, material and internal structure.
Learn moreIncoming Material Inspection
Catch non-conforming material at goods-in, before it enters production.
Learn moreProduction Quality Control
Keep quality stable at production speed and detect drift early.
Learn moreLaboratory Quality Assurance
Build a traceable, capable metrology lab whose data stands up to audits.
Learn moreWhich technology fits your problem?
The right method depends on the defect you are looking for, the part geometry and where the inspection happens. Use this as a starting point — every real recommendation is made after we see the part.
Internal porosity, cracks or voids inside a part
Recommended method
Industrial CTTrade-off: Highest information density. Slower and higher capex than 2D X-ray.
Quick pass/fail on a weld or casting on the shop floor
Recommended method
Digital radiography / X-rayTrade-off: Fast and mobile. 2D projection — not a full 3D reconstruction.
Full-field dimensional check of a complex freeform part
Recommended method
Optical 3D metrologyTrade-off: Millions of points in seconds. Reflective / dark surfaces need prep.
Micron-level surface roughness, edges or radii on tooling
Recommended method
Optical surface metrologyTrade-off: Sub-micron resolution, traceable. Smaller measurement volume.
Confirm alloy grade before material enters production
Recommended method
Optical emission spectrometryTrade-off: Quantitative elemental analysis. Requires prepared sample or spark.
Cracks in welds, tubes or in-service structures
Recommended method
Phased array ultrasonics / eddy currentTrade-off: Sizing and traceability. Method choice depends on material and access.
Visual access inside pipes, engines or turbines
Recommended method
Industrial videoscopyTrade-off: Direct visual evidence. No sizing of subsurface defects.
Verify mechanical properties without destroying the part
Recommended method
Hardness testingTrade-off: Correlates to tensile strength. Local measurement — plan the pattern.
Not sure which row applies? Send us the part — request a feasibility trial and we test the method on your actual sample.
What problem does this solve?
Scrap, escaping defects, failed audits, uncertain material or unqualified dimensional inspection — the failure modes that cost money on the floor and reputation with customers.
