In a sector where reliability and durability demands are increasingly stringent, NOVITOM offers advanced tomography-based inspection and materials characterization solutions with unparalleled precision.
Our team of expert engineers supports you throughout the entire product lifecycle: from the development of high-value-added materials—advanced composites, lightweight alloys, powder metallurgy—to the systematic inspection of components, delivering rigorous multi-scale analyses tailored to your specific requirements.
> Material health: porosity, impregnation defects, phase ratios, fiber orientation, thickness, and ply stacking
> Surface properties: adhesion, roughness, wettability, surface chemistry, durability
> Fiber/matrix interfaces: residual stresses, microcracking, adhesion
> Multi-material compatibility: composite/metal interfaces, bonding, riveting, differential stresses
> Advanced quality control: 3D tomography and high-resolution imaging, automation and AI for defect detection/analysis, dimensional control
> Aging and degradation: UV, humidity, hydrolysis, load and temperature cycling
The simulation of manufacturing processes, shaping or behavior in service requires reliable, multi-scale data representative of material reality.
For more than 15 years, we have been using micro-tomography (micro-CT) to capture the microstructure and internal health status of your materials and components, including under stress, and provide the most realistic input and validation data.
