3D characterisation of fibres orientation in a composite

The images from X-ray microtomography (μCT) allow for advanced analyses at the fiber level: composites, fabrics, plants, paper. We have developed algorithms dedicated to high-resolution image analyses in order to calculate the orientation fields of fibers in samples or complete parts. The material is probed ‘as-is’, without the need to

Why choose microCT to study particle size?

Though X-ray microtomography (micro-CT), Novitom provides advanced particle size analysis, allowing the characterisation of the size, shape, and spatial distribution of particles, pores, or inclusions that make up one or more phases of a material. The material is probed “as is” , i.e. without the need for conditioning. The three-dimensional

Comparison of the scanned full volume of a part with its CAD model

High-resolution, high-energy X-ray tomography provides non-destructive access to the entire part, including internal areas that are inaccessible to other techniques. NOVITOM has developed an algorithm for comparing the CAD part with the volume reconstructed by tomography obtained on the manufactured part. The image next to this text is a 3D

3D localisation and visualisation of cracks

Microtomography enables the non-destructive detection and 3D visualization of cracks. It accurately quantifies the size, shape, and volume of cracks, including their propagation depth. This volumetric measurement capability allows for the assessment of structural integrity, the monitoring of degradation progression, and the optimization of materials. Essential in R&D, it helps

Why choose X-ray tomography or microCT?

X-ray tomography is now a reference method for non-destructive three-dimensional investigation of materials and objects. Its principle is based on capturing a large number of X-ray images from different angles, which are then combined digitally to reconstruct the internal structure of an object. Tomography, which has become essential in various

Crystalline structural analysis with high-throughput X-ray powder diffraction

We are enthusiastic to announce the first industrial use by Novitom of the 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗫-𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗫𝗥𝗣𝗗) 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 at 𝗘𝗦𝗥𝗙. Further, we have used it for non-standard powders as samples were metals’ sheets ! X-ray diffraction provides valuable insights into the crystalline structure, phase composition, and purity of

Optimizing X-ray CT with virtual tomography

On September 13, 2023, Rigaku hosted an episode of its Ask the Expert webinar series, featuring Dr. Awen Autret, R&D Engineer at Novitom. The session, titled “Virtual Tomography – Optimizing Data Acquisition Parameters Without a CT Scanner”, explored how advanced simulation can accelerate and enhance X-ray CT imaging workflows. Dr.
