About eTIS Kassel
eTIS Kassel is a CT measurement and testing laboratory based in Kassel, specializing in 3D metrology and 3D component analyses using industrial computed tomography (iCT). The service portfolio includes non-destructive testing such as shrinkage cavity and porosity analyses, fiber composite analyses, and assembly checks, complemented by dimensional metrology with geometry comparison, wall thickness analysis and digital tool correction. The materials laboratory combines conventional testing methods with state-of-the-art iCT technology for maximum precision of results. Components up to 1600 mm in length and 850 mm in diameter are inspected at a resolution of less than 1 µm voxel size. Customers come from industries such as medical technology, automotive, electronics, aerospace, light and heavy castings, plastics and engineering. In addition, eTIS offers consulting on CT integration into production processes, initial sample inspection reports (EMPB/PPAP), reverse engineering, FEM analyses as well as training and continuing education.
