Advanced non-destructive inspection

Material health analysis - dimensional control - reverse engineering

Novitom provides inspection of all types of parts using X-ray microtomography, followed by 3D image processing and analysis.

The unique properties of synchrotron radiation allow for high-resolution X-ray microtomography of any material without the need to cut or disassemble parts.

The use of tomographs operating at very high energy (several MeV) further enhances our offering to meet all your needs.

Full 3D dimensional control

Whether you need to measure material thickness, distances between walls, or compare the actual geometry of a part to its CAD model, Novitom’s experts offer highly accurate internal 3D dimensional control of all types of parts using X-ray microtomography, followed by quantitative image processing and analysis.

The unique properties of synchrotron radiation allow for high-resolution local measurements without the need to cut or disassemble parts, enabling local measurements in areas inaccessible with conventional techniques. These high-quality images allow you to create a digital library of defects and part models.

Our experts can tailor the deliverables to your specific requirements: 3D volumes of measured deviations, STL files, tomography volumes, for example.

Material health analysis and quality control

Do you need to validate the conformity of a part after a manufacturing or processing procedure, or following its use?

Novitom offers quality control or material health analysis of all types of parts or products using X-ray microtomography.

Novitom’s experts in the relevant field or materials then analyze the 3D images using continuously improved proprietary algorithms to deliver their findings in a report.

X-ray microtomography provides high-quality 3D images from which information can be extracted regarding the size and shape of any defects, their extent, location, and connectivity, in relation to product behavior. Novitom’s services cover both measurements and quantitative analysis of the reconstructed volumes.

Expertise following a failure or counterfeiting

For any material or product failure, whether visible on the surface or internal, Novitom offers an analysis program based on tomographic reconstructions to visualize and measure failure zones and attempt to identify their origin. Observations can be performed at different resolutions, locally on a suspected area, or under mechanical stress. Novitom can also develop image analysis software tailored to your control needs, notably using AI.

Reverse engineering

If you’re looking to better understand the operation of a product or system lacking documentation, compare it to competitors’ offerings, identify potential patent infringements, or innovate by drawing inspiration from existing products, X-ray microtomography provides a complete digital representation, enabling you, for example, to reconstruct surfaces using CAD software. This innovative technique allows you to create a digital library of components and parts of interest.

Novitom can complement this offering with monitoring under mechanical, thermal, or operational stresses.

Why choose µCT ?

  • Non-destructive 3D inspection: visualization and segmentation of internal elements invisible on the surface
  • Multi-scale precision: from millimeters to sub-microns, suitable for bulk samples or fine microstructures
  • In-situ dynamic studies: monitoring of initiation and propagation under mechanical, thermal, or chemical stress
  • Usable data: for numerical modeling, correlation with mechanical tests, and durability simulation
