Automotive

Automotive engineers continuously push the boundaries of what’s possible, delivering features and designs that improve safety, reliability, and performance. However, these innovations lead to increasing complexity, and the margin for error in automotive design and manufacturing has narrowed significantly.

Since 2014, there has been a 42% increase in automotive recalls across the industry. From airbag malfunctions to faulty ignition switches, these recalls highlight the vital importance of defect detection, prevention, and mitigation in the automotive world. As the materials, manufacturing processes, and embedded technologies of cars continue to advance, inspection techniques to ensure their quality must keep up. At the cutting-edge of these techniques, industrial CT scanning emerges as a potent ally for automotive engineers, offering non-destructive and precise insights into complex assemblies.

Lumafield's affordable and accessible Neptune industrial X-ray CT scanner is complemented by the AI-driven Voyager analysis software, a cloud-based inspection platform that operates right in your web browser. Voyager gives you the power to visualize, analyze, and share your CT data directly from your computer, regardless of your location.

With Voyager, automotive engineers can take precise measurements and detect dimensional deviations swiftly. Porosity analysis helps uncover hidden voids within materials, a crucial capability to address issues of material integrity. CAD Comparison and Scan to Scan Comparison enable engineers to compare components with CAD models and other parts to quantify deviations, providing insights to combat misaligned assemblies and ensure seamless fits.
