Auto3DX NDE4.0: Software to automate failure-detection in composite preforms (and through-life)

The project objective is to deliver a Beta-Software Prototype to automatically identify high-frequency composite failure types during manufacture and maintenance; more importantly, in dry-preforms where other inspection methods are currently unable to detect at an early stage. This will reduce financial and environmental costs; allows (otherwise unviable) rework and frees up equipment and personnel to increase production capacity.

This automated inspection will enable NDE 4.0 and can be performed using Adaptix' unique Digital Tomosynthesis 3D X-ray hardware technology. This method will also develop a consistent and comparable digital dataset that could input into the Industry 4.0 Digital Twin journey earlier in each part's manufacturing cycle.
