The Unique Challenges for Quality Assurance in Additive Manufacturing
Posted: 2025-1-1When baking a cake, what you put in isn’t the same as what you get out. Biting into soft golden sponge doesn’t taste like egg or flour or sugar; it tastes like cake – or it should if you follow the recipe. Additive manufacturing is a little bit like that. You may know your ingredients at the start – the material, the design, the oven you’re using – but there’s chemistry and physics happening in between, a recipe, that causes the part to become something new. It depends heavily on precision. There’s variabil...Read More.
Automatic and Accurate Determination of Defect Size in Shearography
Posted: 2025-1-1Shearography, an effective non-destructive testing tool, is widely employed for detecting defects in composite materials. It detects internal defects by detecting deformation anomalies, offering advantages such as full-field, non-contact measurement, and high accuracy. Defect size is a critical parameter determining structure performance stability and service life. However, manual inspection is the primary method for defect size measurement in this technique, leading to inefficiency and low accuracy.

From Sealed to Revealed: The Debate Over CT Scanning in Trading Card Collecting
Posted: 2024-12-27For 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. But in recent years, technology has introduced a disruptive twist: the ability to see what’s inside without breaking the seal.
With that said, let's shift our focus t...Read More.
DÜRR NDT Extends its Product Range of Bendable Digital X-ray Detectors
Posted: 2024-12-27Shortly 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 427 mm, you can inspect the weld of a 300 mm pipe with as few as 3 exposures.
Both detectors can be bent continuously from flat to a 150 mm respectively 300 mm diameter in one direction, with exposu...Read More.
Measuring the Moisture Content of Wood Sheathing with Continuous Wave Radars
Posted: 2024-12-27Abstract:
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 the structure degrades.
The need to operate the radar at millimeter ranges required the development of new techniques and met...Read More.
