01
CAD comparison
Compare CAD data with a 3D scan. How far does your component deviate from the original design?
Industrial X-ray inspection / CT material testing
CT inspection for shrinkage cavities, porosity and hidden component defects.
Our state-of-the-art CT systems offer unrivalled insight into complex internal and external component structures, ideal for industries such as automotive, aviation, medical technology and electronics. Increase your production quality through detailed defect analysis and improve your manufacturing processes with our leading technology, which guarantees efficiency and reliability.

µm
CT resolution down to the micrometre range — depending on part size, material and inspection requirements.
100%
Non-destructive testing of internal structures, without cutting open or damaging the part.
24h
Fast feedback, a clear assessment and short turnaround times for your CT inspection.
Inside
Make shrinkage cavities, porosity, inclusions, cracks, wall thicknesses and hidden geometries visible.
What can CT detect?
Industrial computed tomography makes internal structures and hidden defects visible without destroying the part.
- Shrinkage cavities and voids in the material
- Porosity and material inclusions
- Cracks, flaws and internal defects
- Wall thicknesses and hidden geometries
- Internal contours, channels and undercuts
From small businesses to enterprise manufacturers and universities:Hundreds of companies rely on us and our 3D scanning solutions
Computed tomography analyses
With our CT, the following inspections & analyses can be carried out:
Microstructure analysis
High-resolution X-ray microscopy enables detailed 3D structural characterisation and provides insight into material properties.
4D analysis
Examines material behaviour under environmental influences and over time by means of dynamic 4D analyses.
Roughness analysis
The surface roughness of both external and internal structures can be determined precisely.
Fibre composite analysis
Enables visualisation of the 3D distribution and orientation of components in fibre composite materials.
Grain size and distribution analysis
Examines grain size and distribution to assess the hardness and strength of components.
You receive not just raw data but an easy-to-understand evaluation of your parts, including a technical assessment.
- CT scan of your part
- Analysis of the relevant features and anomalies
- Images and volume model for visual documentation
- Inspection report with traceable results
- Recommended action for approval, rework or further inspection
When is material testing with computed tomography worthwhile?
CT inspection is worthwhile whenever conventional measurement or visual inspection is not enough because the relevant information lies inside the part.
- First article inspection and production launch
- Complaints and failure analysis
- Part approval and proof of quality
- Failure analysis where the cause of a defect is unclear
- Series inspection and sample checks

Frequently asked questions
If our FAQ does not answer your question, simply send us an inquiry, an e-mail or give us a call – we are happy to help.
What do I receive after a CT scan?
You receive:
3D volume data (e.g. as *.vol or *.raw)
Surface mesh (STL) for further processing
CAD reconstruction (optional)
Analysis reports (wall thicknesses, porosity etc.)
How accurate is a CT scan?
Our CT scans achieve resolutions of up to 5 micrometres – that is finer than a hair. Ideal for delicate or high-precision parts. The accuracy depends on the object, its density and its orientation – we get the most out of it.
How much does a CT scan cost at Scankraft?
CT scans start at approx. €590 for simple parts. Price factors include:
Size & material
Required output (e.g. data only or including analysis)
Number of parts
We are happy to prepare an individual quote – transparent & fair.
How is sensitive data handled?
We treat our customers' data as strictly confidential – all data is hosted locally on our own backed-up systems (not in the cloud).
For data transfer, just tell us the method you prefer (e.g. your company's own cloud solution).
We are of course happy to sign an NDA if you wish.
