When computed tomography meets up with artificial intelligence, it’s capable of analyzing much more information, much faster - making high-tech non-destructive testing faster and more accurate, even inline.
Computed tomography has been embraced by automakers, among other manufacturers.
Computed tomography (CT) has a parallel life beyond its service in medical diagnostics. From aerospace and automotive to defense and electronics, it’s one of manufacturing's most powerful quality assurance technologies. By creating detailed three-dimensional views of both external and internal part features without destructive testing, CT allows manufacturers to detect defects, verify dimensions, and improve product performance.
Now, artificial intelligence and machine learning are accelerating those capabilities even further, making inspections faster, more accurate, and increasingly practical for production environments. In this episode of the Great Question Podcast, Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence Technical Sales Engineer Roger Wende details how AI-enhanced CT scanning is reshaping non-destructive testing, metrology, defect analysis, and the future of digital manufacturing.
