Join us at Formnext 2025, the leading event for the additive manufacturing industry, hosting its 11th edition at Messe Frankfurt from 18th to 21st November 2025.
The Additive Manufacturing (AM) process is a relatively new and complex technology offering great potential for creating lighter, more efficient parts. However, AM-produced components often have different types of defects than those made by traditional methods like machining or casting.
X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) has emerged as an excellent non-destructive inspection tool for these parts. It allows for detecting defects whilst also enabling the examination of complex geometries and internal features that AM makes possible. Key industry sectors, including automotive, aerospace, and medical, have recognised the diverse advantages of AM. These industries are increasingly turning to CT as a reliable method for validating and inspecting AM parts to meet industry standards.
Meet our experts at the Nikon SLM Solutions booth to learn how we can help customers achieve the best data quality for AM and metal-printed parts.
