The main objective of the QUICOM project is to provide a novel technology platform in the short run to escalate and in the long run to replace conventional aeronautic NDT techniques. This QUICOM technology platform contains novel, non-destructive, fully 3D, highly detailed, fast and economic techniques based on cutting edge X-ray computed tomography methods. Using these novel means of data acquisition in conjunction with data analysis, modelling and simulation, QUICOM will facilitate, implement and establish a new era of CFRP development on all ranges of aeronautic components, namely small high volume parts, composite metallic parts and complex and large parts. To summarize QUICOM targets the design, development, implementation and validation of novel X-ray computed tomography techniques for non-destructive structural and material characterization of aeronautic CFRP components.
