Adaptix have proven their medical devices can inspect authentic aerospace parts to the required industry standard via a previous ATI grant. Inspecting these smaller parts via systems built for healthcare doesn't serve the typical large aerospace parts. Adaptix wants to scale-up their capability to image large aerospace parts (such as wings/doors/skins) while maintaining the required resolution of seeing typical failure modes in the composite. This scale-up while maintaining fidelity is a significant innovation challenge.The ability to determine failures in composite materials in the early, dry-preform phase of manufacture for the aero industry continues to be a challenge, but is highly desirable. Fast-acquisition inspection at dry-preform (where other methods currently can't inspect) via Adaptix' novel _Digital Tomosynthesis_ unlocks new manufacturing methods with significant financial and environmental impact. This will then hasten the desired greater incorporation of such composite material in the manufacture of aircraft and engines.Using technology developed for a different discipline, this innovative research will deploy low-power, robot-mounted, 3D X-ray inspection on real world composites. In doing so, this research will also explore longitudinal analysis of end-of-life parts, to feed back in to the manufacturing process. With such digital information, this work will contribute to work in NDE 4.0 and Digital Twins.The value of this project innovation has the backing or aerospace manufacturing primes, Airbus, Spirit AeroSystems, GKN and Dowty Propellers (a GE company).

通过之前的 ATI 资助，Adaptix 已经证明他们的医疗设备可以按照所需的行业标准检查正宗的航空航天零件。通过为医疗保健构建的系统检查这些较小的零件并不适合典型的大型航空航天零件。 Adaptix 希望扩大其对大型航空航天部件（例如机翼/门/蒙皮）进行成像的能力，同时保持观察复合材料中典型故障模式所需的分辨率。在保持保真度的同时进行放大是一项重大的创新挑战。在航空工业制造的早期干燥预成型阶段确定复合材料故障的能力仍然是一个挑战，但也是非常理想的。通过 Adaptix 的新颖的“数字断层合成”对干预成型件（其他方法目前无法进行检查）进行快速采集检查，开启了新的制造方法，对财务和环境产生重大影响。这将加速这种复合材料在飞机和发动机制造中的更多应用。这项创新研究将利用为不同学科开发的技术，对现实世界的复合材料部署低功率、机器人安装的 3D X 射线检测。在此过程中，这项研究还将探索对报废零件的纵向分析，以反馈到制造过程中。有了这些数字信息，这项工作将为 NDE 4.0 和数字孪生的工作做出贡献。该项目创新的价值得到了航空航天制造巨头空中客车公司、Spirit AeroSystems、GKN 和 Dowty Propellers（GE 公司）的支持。
