Sintavia, LLC, a global leader for metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) services, which is located in Florida, US, recently announced it has broadened its precision scanning and quality control services for critical industries by incorporating high-powered Computed Tomography (CT) scanning capabilities.
The Nikon XTH 320 CT scanner offers porosity analysis as well as non-destructive examination of the complex internal networks of AM manufactured components.
The industrial CT scanner features 225 and 320 kV microfocus X-ray sources that are used depending on the density of material and resolution necessary to analyze internal passages and cooling channels. The 320 kV source is used to penetrate through larger parts or higher density alloys such as nickel alloys and stainless steel with high resolution and magnification.
