For decades, the trading card hobby was a game of chance and collectors lived and died by the "Odds Per Pack" statement and whether or not collectors were purchasing packs, boxes, or cases, neither buyers nor sellers knew exactly what treasures lay within the sealed packaging. It was a thrill that combined risk, reward, and nostalgia. [...]
Shortly after the launch of the D-DR 1025B NDT, the D-DR 1043B NDT joins the family of bendable X-ray detectors for industrial radiography. The D-DR 1043B NDT is designed for weld inspection on objects with large diameters to cover a wider area and save time due to fewer exposures. With an active area of 97 x [...]
Abstract: Radars were studied for measuring the moisture content of wood-based materials because of their non-destructive nature and their ability to measure the moisture content of several layers at once. These convenient characteristics enable a quick and non-invasive method to find areas of high moisture content in building envelopes so that problems can be fixed before [...]
From September 9 to 12, the entire value chain of the composites industry gathered at the San Diego Convention Center for CAMX 2024, co-hosted by the American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA) and the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE North America). The event brought together composite end-users, raw material suppliers and researchers, [...]
Even the strongest structures will eventually fail. When such failures might occur is hard to predict, so it takes regular inspection to ensure buildings and public infrastructure are in good condition. Now, researchers think artificial intelligence (AI)-powered robots could handle these checkups. Concrete crack detection has come a long way over time, but researchers believe it [...]
Hexagon today announced the acquisition of 3D Systems’ Geomagic suite of interoperable software packages, which are used to create high quality 3D models from multiple sources, including laser scanning. The Geomagic suite, which includes products such as Design X, Control X, Freeform and Wrap, is capable of automating the processing of 3D scan data to build [...]
NTT DATA and Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation have developed a Smart Robotics solution for automated facility inspections. The system uses a quadruped robot equipped with AI and active sensing technology to perform autonomous equipment monitoring and anomaly detection in manufacturing facilities. The robot navigates using AR markers and can detect subtle vibrations in pipelines through comprehensive analysis. [...]
