About TPW CTinspect
TPW CTinspect GmbH is an accredited testing laboratory in Neuss specializing in industrial computed tomography (CT) as a contract measurement service. The company non-destructively examines the interior of components made of additively manufactured metals, metal castings, plastics and composite materials. The service portfolio includes 3D metrology based on CT data, wall thickness measurement, porosity and shrinkage cavity inspection according to VDG/BDG guidelines, assembly and mounting inspection, nominal-actual analyses, structure and particle analysis, fiber orientation analysis, and reverse engineering with STL export for CAD/FEM. With several CT systems and a capacity of over 10,000 inspected components per year, TPW CTinspect handles both single-part and series inspections, including for additive manufacturing, medical technology (implants) and automotive. Inspection reports and data exports (STL, CSV, XLSX) are delivered a few days after receipt of the component. The laboratory is accredited to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 and certified for CT inspections according to DIN EN 15708-3.
