Crystallographic Non Destructive Testing

AOT's CrystalView CPCI ushers in a new era of non-destructive testing, allowing visualization of microstructural properties critical to high-strength and high-performance aerospace, energy, architectural, and medical parts and materials. CrystalView CPCI is a parallel imaging technique that works in air at much higher speeds and fields-of-view than scanning alternatives.

Optics Calibration & Certification

Building an effective optical sensor or device requires high-accuracy calibration of its optical components, often beyond the level of detail available in vendor datasheets. Accurate comprehensive specifications such as the component Mueller matrix or scattering matrix can be digitized for use in compatible computer-aided design (CAD) programs and models.  Calibrate your optics to AOT's standard and avoid time-consuming diagnostics, design rework and budget overruns.

Additive Manufacturing

CrystalView CPCI applies to additive manufacturing for process qualification and control of 3D-printed metal parts through microstructure characterization.  AOT reflectance modeling also applies to characterization of AM surfaces, either post-build or layer-wise. Through crystallographic and surface characterization AOT sensors can accelerate development and acceptance of AM processes.
