Have the wall thickness of components measured
As an accredited testing laboratory according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 3DIMETIK is your nationwide contact for wall thickness measurement for components of all kinds.
We use industrial computer tomography to measure the wall thickness of your components. A measuring method that enables a non-destructive, full-surface and highly precise analysis of the wall thickness
Areas of application for a
wall thickness analysis
Check minimum wall thickness
Optimize component weight
Analyze wall thickness profile
Evaluate breakthrough risks
Series monitoring
of wall thicknesses
Validate design
When you contact us, you will always speak directly to your contact person for industrial CT. No call center waiting loops, just competent measurement technicians.
How a wall thickness measurement works
Create CT scan & 3D volume model
First, the component is completely scanned using industrial computed tomography. This creates a high-resolution 3D solid model that digitally depicts the entire internal and external structure.
Automatic wall thickness analysis in the 3D model
The wall thickness is calculated over the entire surface in the digital volume model. The software automatically determines minimum, maximum and average values.
Target/actual comparison and evaluation
Finally, the measured wall thickness can be compared with the CAD specifications. This makes design deviations or process-related wall thickness fluctuations visible.

Individual or series testing
with 3DIMETIK
Individual testing / project-related wall thickness analysis
The individual test is suitable for prototypes, initial sampling or specific questions in which the wall thickness of a particular component is to be precisely analyzed and documented.
Series testing and framework agreements for larger volumes
Series testing under a framework agreement is ideal for recurring or larger quantities where wall thicknesses need to be systematically monitored and reproducibly evaluated.

The accuracy of CT wall thickness measurement depends on the component size, material and scan parameters and is typically in the micrometer range. Volumetric data acquisition creates a reproducible measurement basis for minimum wall thicknesses, tolerance analyses and series comparisons.
