KTP 10106664: Knowledge transfer partnership between University of Strathclyde and ETHER NDE LIMITED

Mohseni, Ehsan (Principal Investigator) Dobie, Gordon (Principal Investigator) MacLeod, Charles Norman (Principal Investigator)

ETher NDE has identified a significant potential market for in-process Non-Destructive inspection, of high temperature additive manufacturing.
In most traditional material manufacture, inspection is done on a finished soliditem after manufacture. Whereas in additive manufacture, there is the opportunityfor inspection as the layers are built up. This would be particularly relevant forparts where the core is an open lattice (for reasons of weight reduction), whichmakes conventional non-destructive testing (NDT) at the best very difficult and atworst impossible.
It is imperative that the new product offering is integrated seamlessly with ETherNDE's existing technology where complementary hardware and applicationrequirements align. The innovative proposed product will be designed to work withexisting Eddy Current hardware from ETher's product range. There'll be a PCapplication to facilitate data collection, display, analysis, and reporting.
The metal additive manufacturing market is still emerging, and engagement withAM machine builders has revealed a significant gap in NDT technology. ETherNDE is ready and well-positioned to enter the Eddy Current array market for metalAM in aerospace, and other sectors, with the vision and ambition of overtakingtraditional in-process inspection, thereby helping them gain a technological edgeover their global competitors.
