Comparing 2D Real-Time X-Ray (AXI) with 3D Computed Tomography (CT) for Your Application
The choice between 2D AXI and 3D CT defines the scope and depth of your non-destructive inspection capabilities. AXI excels as the speedy, cost-effective sentinel on the production line, perfect for volume inspection and real-time process control. CT stands as the definitive, analytical microscope, revealing the complete internal truth of a sample for critical measurement and failure analysis. A strategic approach evaluates your primary need: Is it screening for known defects at high speed(AXI), or is it obtaining definitive three-dimensional data for analysis and validation(CT)? For many leading manufacturers, the synergistic combination of both technologies—using AXI to catch defects and CT to understand them—creates the most powerful, insightful, and reliable quality assurance system possible.
