Industrial CT Scanning Services for Manufacturing & Research

Non-destructive 3D X-ray services for detailed internal inspections and precise measurements.

Industrial CT scanning (computed tomography) is a cutting-edge, non-destructive inspection method that uses high definition, 3-D X-rays services to see inside objects without cutting them open.

The Manufacturing Collaborative’s advanced CT scanning services let you explore internal structures in high resolution, helping you catch hidden issues and ensure quality – all without damaging your parts or samples.

Project-based Services

Why CT Scanning?

Non-destructive internal inspection without cutting or damaging the part
Complete 3D visualization of internal and external features in one scan
High-resolution imaging reveals microscopic defects and complex structures
Accurate dimensional measurements and defect detection for improved quality control

What Makes CT Scanning Different?

Provides full 3D X-ray data instead of flat 2D images, eliminating blind spots
Inspects hidden internal features without destructive testing or disassembly
Captures entire internal geometry in one go, unlike multiple separate tests
Delivers higher precision and detail than traditional ultrasonic or visual inspections

CT Scanning for Manufacturers

Manufacturers in industries like aerospace, automotive, and medical devices rely on industrial CT scanning to ensure product quality and accelerate development. This technology lets engineering and quality teams inspect complex components from the inside out, catching issues early and contributing to better design.

Identify hidden defects (voids, cracks, inclusions) early to prevent recalls and rework
Validate internal dimensions and assembly fit to ensure parts meet design specifications
Shorten prototyping and production cycles with rapid, comprehensive feedback on internal structures
Meet regulatory and customer quality requirements with thorough, non-destructive inspection data

CT Scanning for Researchers

Researchers across fields like archaeology, biology, and materials science use CT scanning for research, exploring internal details without harming precious samples. This non-invasive 3D imaging reveals hidden structures while keeping artifacts and specimens intact, making it ideal for scientific analysis and conservation.

Examine rare artifacts, fossils, and biological specimens internally with zero damage
Visualize hidden features (chambers, layers, inclusions) to support new insights
Capture high-resolution 3D datasets for precise measurements, digital archiving, and publication-ready visuals
Preserve irreplaceable samples and cultural heritage by avoiding destructive testing methods

Material Characterization

Ensure optimal performance and reliability of your products. We analyze and measure material properties to determine optimal parameters for effective manufacturing and quality control.
