In a rapidly evolving landscape—including electrification, weight reduction, enhanced safety, and the transition to innovative materials—the transportation industry must meet increasingly stringent requirements for reliability, durability, and performance optimization.
To support your development efforts, Novitom offers inspection and characterisation solutions designed to enhance performance, providing a precise and rigorous analysis of your materials and components throughout the product development cycle.
NOVITOM supports you with comprehensive solutions for non-destructive testing and materials characterisation, based on cutting-edge technologies such as high-resolution 3D X-ray tomography (micro-CT), multi-scale materials characterization, and artificial intelligence-assisted analysis.
Whether you are developing lightweight alloys, hybrid composites, fastening systems, battery structures, or safety components, we can help you understand, optimise, and validate your material choices and manufacturing processes.
An automotive component (engine part, structural element, battery connector, injection-molded part) can be fully inspected and scanned before assembly, its materials validated following a complete analysis of their microstructure, and its strength predicted using reliable data and simulations supported by experimentation. These observations can be made at different scales, locally, on a part of borderline quality, or even under mechanical or environmental stress.
Simulating manufacturing, forming, or in-service behaviour processes requires reliable, multi-scale data that accurately represents the material’s actual properties.
For over 15 years, we have been using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) to capture the microstructure and internal health of your materials and components, including under stress, and provide the most realistic input and validation data.
