Technology & Products
Key Products
Non-destructive testing (NDT), materials and processes (M&P), and structural health monitoring services and products for aerostructure testing.
Technological Advantage
Verified advantage: Specialized NDT for w-DED titanium aircraft components (e.g., A350 cargo door surrounds), with published case studies showing successful inspection integration. Defensible through Airbus ecosystem access and certification expertise.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces risk and accelerates certification of 3D-printed aerospace components through specialized ultrasonic inspection and NDT expertise, cutting inspection time by up to 50% compared to conventional methods.
How They Differentiate
Focuses exclusively on aerospace AM component inspection vs. general NDT; offers Airbus-integrated certification pathways and faster inspection cycles (50% time reduction) for w-DED parts compared to generic NDT providers.
