We brought our research closer to industry.

Our latest paper has now been published

In this work, we demonstrate how air-coupled ultrasonic testing can be integrated into industrial manufacturing processes for sandwich panels. The system enables the detection of hidden defects completely without contact and was successfully validated live on a moving production line during production.

Bridging the gap between laboratory research and real-world manufacturing is always rewarding, and we're excited to contribute to more reliable and efficient quality assurance for composite structures.
