QC Laboratories has used their DÜRR NDT HD-CR 35 for pipe weld inspections, aerospace components, scheduled aircraft maintenance checks and forensics, has almost eliminated wet film developing at one location and is pursuing the same course of action at their other offices. QC Laboratories, Inc. is a industrial commercial testing laboratory incorporated in 1965, with two [...]
The Multigauge 6000 Drone Thickness Gauge from Dorchester based Tritex NDT is specifically designed for mounting onto drones for high level inspections. The gauge uses multiple echo to completely ignore coatings up to 20mm thick and the single crystal probe ensures accurate readings on curved surfaces, such as storage tanks, pipelines and in the marine industry. [...]
Sauber Engineering AG, Synopsys Inc., the AM Network and CADFEM are organizing a free technology day in Hinwil, Zurich. The efficient use of additive manufacturing requires a rethink in design. After all, additive manufacturing (AM) offers unprecedented levels of design freedom. However, these new freedoms also bring with them new risks. Thermal distortion, residual stresses, imperfections [...]
