Assistance in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Objective

To improve how inspectors record, visualize, and act on hidden defects identified during non-destructive testing procedures.

Value

  • More accurate NDT records
  • Faster defect location during repair
  • Reduced risk of missing compliance issues

AR Role

Using tabletop cameras, inspectors capture UV-visible defects and project their precise locations onto a 3D model. These locations can later be viewed again via AR during repair.

Assistance in Non-Destructive Testing

Problem

Traditional NDT inspections lack detailed defect tracking and are hard to reproduce accurately in follow-up work.

Solution

AR improves NDT by:

  • Capturing UV defect positions in context
  • Storing visual data on the 3D model
  • Supporting accurate and efficient repair operations

Outcomes

  • More complete defect records
  • Shorter repair cycles
  • Better traceability for safety-critical systems
