Thanks to the further development of the technology and its growing prevalence, CT is now a tool of research and development, as well as quality control, accessible also to small & medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in manufacturing in particular. CT is used both on site, integrated into the production process, and offsite, through CT service providers.

As a new branch of industry, E-mobility, including the development of novel propulsion technologies, is proving to be especially dependent on the outputs of modern inspection methods. The usage of novel materials and production methods in critical applications demands an exceptional level of quality control, attainable only through modern test methodologies such as CT. Defects in highly complex, sensitive and expensive components such as batteries, and other central elements of E-mobility such as rotors, not only present a safety risk to be avoided, but also entail costs to be minimised.
