Reveal Internal Structures Without Sectioning for Reliable Material Insights 

 

Evaluate complex materials without destroying the sample. Traditional sectioning can obscure or eliminate the very defects you need to study.

With Tescan’s non-destructive 3D workflows, you can visualize structures, detect defects, and assess material performance with confidence. Apply these insights in additive manufacturing, composites, and civil engineering to improve design, reliability, and quality control.

Dynamic Micro-CT for Evaluating Additively Manufactured Parts

Use dynamic micro-CT to study additively manufactured parts under real conditions. Reveal hidden porosity, cracks, and structural changes over time without cutting the sample. Gain true-to-life insight into how components perform under stress and load.

  • Non-destructive evaluation: Preserve the part while exposing internal defects and microstructural features
  • Time-resolved imaging: Track how stresses, cracks, or deformations evolve during testing
  • Quantitative analysis: Measure pore size, distribution, and connectivity to validate manufacturing quality

Composite Wind Blade Engineering and Structural Integrity

Evaluate composite wind blades with non-destructive 3D workflows to uncover defects that threaten performance and durability. Delamination, voids, and fiber misalignment become visible without sectioning, giving engineers a complete view of structural integrity.

  • Non-destructive inspection: Preserve blade geometry while revealing hidden flaws
  • 3D fiber mapping: Visualize orientation and distribution for design validation and quality control
  • Structural assessment: Quantify voids and delamination to predict long-term reliability

Asphalt and Concrete Analysis with Non-Destructive 3D Workflows

Characterize asphalt and concrete non-destructively to reveal the internal features that govern strength and durability. Pore networks, aggregate distribution, and microcracks can be examined in 3D without coring or slicing, enabling more accurate predictions of material performance.

  • Preserve samples: Inspect structural details without destructive sectioning

  • 3D porosity mapping: Visualize pore size, distribution, and connectivity for durability studies

  • Aggregate analysis: Assess grain distribution and crack formation to improve mix design and quality control
