L'avis de Welcome
The successful design of a product depends on the intricate work of engineers, and the more information product engineers have about an object, the more they can understand how to improve it. However, this can be difficult when many object details can only be found inside them, raising the question of how product designers could benefit from X-ray CT technology. Lumafield provides an X-ray CT platform for engineers, helping them gain visibility into the interior details of objects and materials. The platform consists of an easy-to-use hardware scanner supported by cloud-driven analysis software, helping engineers solve challenges at every stage of the product development process. Whilst product development engineers already have software and hardware tools for optimizing their products, these often neglect the interior intricacies of objects, and Lumafield has been smart to recognize this. By improving the visibility engineers have into the pores, voids, and cracks of design materials, the company helps designers explore new techniques with confidence, minimize expensive molding and casting failures, and stay ahead of quality standards.
