regulations and preventive maintenance of industrial equipment. Growth is being driven primarily by the ongoing development of CT devices and services that enable precise and non-destructive testing of components. Innovations such as the use of artificial intelligence for automated fault analyses and the development of mobile CT systems are expanding the possibilities.

to produce three-dimensional internal and external representations of a scanned object. Industrial CT scanning has been used in many areas of industry for internal inspection of components. Some of the key uses for industrial CT scanning have been flaw detection, failure analysis, metrology, assembly

One of the most recognized forms of analysis using CT is for assembly, or visual analysis. CT scanning provides views inside components in their functioning position, without disassembly. Some software programs for industrial CT scanning allow for measurements to be taken from the CT dataset volume

Traditionally, determining defects, voids and cracks within an object would require destructive testing. CT scanning can detect internal features and flaws displaying this information in 3D without destroying the part. Industrial CT scanning (3D X-ray) is used to detect flaws inside a part such as

The industrial computed tomography market is forecast to reach a size of USD 773.45 million to USD 1,116.5 million between 2029 and 2030. Regional trends show that strong market growth is expected, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, but also in North
America and Europe, due to strict safety
