Research & Development

From evaluating new materials to testing experimental designs, our non-destructive testing (NDT) services support innovation and safety in research and development.

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a vital tool in research and development (R&D), allowing engineers and scientists to test prototypes, analyze material properties, and refine experimental designs without compromising structural integrity. Whether developing new aerospace components, advanced composites, or next-generation medical devices, NDT provides valuable insights into performance, durability, and compliance before full-scale production.

By integrating NDT into R&D, organizations can:

  • Validate Prototype Performance: Identify defects, stress points, and material weaknesses before manufacturing.
  • Analyze Advanced Materials: Ensure new composites, metals, and polymers meet strength and durability requirements.
  • Optimize Manufacturing Processes: Test welds, bonds, and coatings to refine fabrication techniques.
  • Enhance Regulatory Compliance: Meet industry standards and safety regulations before product launch.

By leveraging NDT, researchers can reduce development costs, minimize failures, and accelerate innovation across industries such as aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and energy.

Two essential NDT techniques in research and development are X-Ray Inspection (Radiographic Testing - RT) and Ultrasonic Testing (UT)—both critical for material analysis and prototype validation.

X-Ray Inspection (RT): Uses radiographic imaging to examine the internal structure of experimental materials, detect voids, inclusions, and inconsistencies, and verify material composition in additive manufacturing and advanced composites.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT): Employs high-frequency sound waves to assess internal defects, measure thickness, and analyze bonding integrity in new materials and components, ensuring performance under real-world conditions.

By utilizing these advanced NDT methods, Boomer Technical Resources helps R&D teams refine designs, validate materials, and accelerate the development of cutting-edge innovations.
