X-ray Computed Tomography for Materials and Life Science #12. X-ray CT for Medical Devices and Healthcare Products
For manufacturers working with injection-molded parts, porous materials, or complex multi-material assemblies, internal inspection can be a real challenge. Important defects often sit below the surface, and traditional inspection methods may miss them or require destructive sectioning. This webinar explores how X-ray computed tomography can be used to inspect internal structures non-destructively and with greater confidence.
You’ll see how CT can reveal issues in medical devices, from molding defects such as voids and sink marks to internal features that affect product quality and performance. The session focuses on practical medical device applications, with examples you can relate directly to real inspection and development work.
We’ll cover a range of inspection scenarios across different component types and materials, along with common imaging challenges and ways to address them. By the end of the webinar, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how 3D internal data can improve inspection, troubleshooting, and validation workflows for medical devices.
In this webinar, we show how CT can be useful for medical device inspection by revealing internal features and structures that may be difficult to assess by other methods. We discuss practical considerations for imaging complex materials and assemblies, highlight common scanning challenges, and present representative examples that demonstrate the value of CT. Viewers will achieve a stronger understanding of how CT can support inspection workflows and provide meaningful 3D insight into medical devices and medical device components.
