For very large and dense components requiring precise dimensional metrology and quality control, our group offers advanced solutions with a unique 450 kV system in Belgium. Applications include crack detection, large-scale dimensional metrology, CAD comparison, assembly inspection, and recently XCT for structural analysis and component differentiation to aid de-manufacturing and recycling.
