Industrial tomography is still a relatively recent and constantly evolving technology. It is very likely to be democratized in production and integrated on-line as a means of final inspection for the mass production of aluminum parts for the automotive industry.

5.1 Democratizing industrial tomography

Although the number of tomographs installed in foundries and at OEMs is still limited (just a few dozen in France), it is reasonable to assume that this number is set to increase rapidly as a result of several factors:

  • steadily decreasing computing time (image reconstruction and processing) due to Moore's Law (doubling of processing speed every 2 years) and the use of clusters of 4 or 8 PCs, enabling parallel processing of operations...
