Our Services
We offer a comprehensive suite of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of the academic community. Our services include:
- Hypothesis Generation Support: Collaborate with our team of experts to formulate hypotheses and research questions and explore how volumetric X-ray imaging can be deployed to provide answers.
- Funding Bidding Support & Preliminary Data Generation: Steering on the XCT aspects of your application and preliminary data aquisition / proof-of-concept support for demonstrating the integrity and reliability of your research hypothesis.
- Image Interpretation Support: Steering on accurate data interpretation for gaining insights from your images
- Training
Additionally, we can provide:
- Image Production: Generate high-quality volume data utilising our state-of-the-art equipment
- Image Analysis: From sample visualisation to precise measurements
- Defect Detection: Identify and analyse defects with precision
- Actual-Nominal Comparison: Compare real-world objects to their digital (CAD) representations for accuracy assessment (e.g. 3D printing applications and manufacturing)
- Assembly Analysis: Analyse the assembly of complex structures
- FE Model Generation (Meshing): modeling oriented imaging for generating accurate real -object meshes for modeling applications
- Correlative imaging: Combination of XCT with other imaging technologies such as light and electron microscopy
- In Situ Testing during Imaging: Perform tests directly within the imaging equipment
