The solution developed in the project, SURFinloop, uses low‑cost scattering sensors that continuously record surface data and compares it with digital reference models known as digital twins. Modular software evaluates the data and detects geometric tolerance deviations with high precision. The system then feeds this information directly back into the production process in a closed loop.

The ability to look inside complex components without cutting them open or dismantling them lies at the heart of nondestructive testing (NDT). However, traditional industrial computed tomography (CT) systems are constrained by the size of the objects they can accommodate. Components must fit inside the scanner, limiting the application of CT for large assemblies such as full vehicles, aircraft structures, or large energy systems.
