More speed, less risk

How Hexagon empowers the French Defence Procurement Agency (Direction générale de l’armement, DGA) with 3D CT data segmentation using VGTRAINER and AI.

 

Until now, analysts at the Direction générale de l’armement (DGA) of the French Ministry of Defence needed a great deal of time to evaluate CT scans of printed circuit boards — one single board could take up to an entire day. Experts examined the data voxel by voxel to identify co ductive connections between the vias and thus decode the circuitry. It was clear to the DGA: this process needed to be faster, more precise, and more wide ranging. With AI-based training using Hexagon’s VGTRAINER, evaluations can now be completed within seconds — while achieving higher accuracy and enabling larger data volumes to be processed efficiently in VGSTUDIO MAX.

 

When the DGA receives a new printed circuit board — such as from drones or other airborne systems with highly complex control mechanisms — analysts can look directly inside. Using computed tomography, the agency generates high-resolution 3D datasets, which are digitally evaluated during subsequent postprocessing. Every detail counts: The data reveals insights into internal structures, tight geometries, and even the smallest features such as traces and solder joints — completely non-destructively and without time-consuming physical sectioning. 

 

As France’s defense procurement authority, the DGA operates under substantial pressure for both speed and precision. For the design, assessment, and further development of defense systems and operations, correct information must be available as quickly as possible. This also applies to the postprocessing of complex 3D CT scans. That’s why some sites of the agency began collaborating with Hexagon as early as ten years ago and have since relied on software solutions such as VGSTUDIO MAX for non-destructive analysis. The department responsible for analyzing circuit boards has now taken another step forward: it explored the possibilities of automated data evaluation using artificial intelligence — and thereby its own optimization potential.

Are we alone in the universe?

This question has been pondered upon by humans for thousands of years. But are we any closer to finding the answer?
 
For OHB’s space missions that aim to answer one of humanity’s biggest questions—are we alone in the Universe?—precision and reliability are non‑negotiable. VG software plays a crucial role in ensuring that the instruments sent to explore distant worlds are flawless at a microscopic level.

AI and Deep Learning drive enhancements in aerospace

Turbine blades are a critical component for jet engines. Ensuring their quality is not just a safety consideration; high-quality turbine blades ensure optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, durability, and reduced emissions.

It’s important to remember here that the aerospace industry is not like the high-volume world of automotive where samples from the production line are tested. In aerospace, every blade must be tested.

Of course, embedding rigorous inspection processes into manufacturing also helps to detect potential turbine blade issues before they lead to failures. But such a rigorous inspection routine can involve multiple processes, such as tactile or optical 3D coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) for the external dimensions in tandem with computed tomography (CT) for internal dimensions and structure.

One manufacturer, Safran Tech, identified this as an area where efficiency improvements could be made. Safran Tech is part of Safran Group - the world’s second largest aircraft equipment manufacturer, employing over 92,000 people and generating 27.31 billion euros in revenue (2024).
