NDT Film Digitizing

Even today, a lot of companies are receiving analog film when they perform non-destructive tests (NDT) on large equipment, tanks, and machinery. These tests are typically X-rays performed on the existing equipment, and the only way to print an X-ray is on analog film (just like an X-ray of a broken bone).

However, analog film is incredibly difficult to use and share with other people. This means that you’ll get the results of your NDT, but then you’ll have no way of using the results.

This is where our professional outsourced NDT film digitization services come on. We’ll turn every physical piece of film into a high-quality image you can open on your computer, laptop, or phone.

NDT film digitization services will take your physical analog film and put it through a professional scanning machine, converting the file into a digital copy that you can open on your computer. The process works just like photocopying an old Mylar engineering drawing, but with some additional huge complications.

For one, X-ray film is really sensitive to the wrong kind of light. Flashing a bright light on the film too many times could make the X-ray unreadable. Instead, we have to use specifically-designed machines that scan each piece of film with the required sensitivity.

When you choose CAD/CAM Services for our NDT film digitization services, you’ll exchange your analog film for fully-optimized virtual copies of each image.

As we mentioned, analog film is really difficult to work with and handle. An inexperienced company can easily damage, destroy, or misplace your film. This means low-quality scans or pictures that are completely missing. This will waste a ton of your time and money, and your sensitive test results can wind up in the wrong hands.

Instead, trust our professionals at CAD/CAM Services. We’ve been doing this for over 35 years, and we have digitized countless pieces of film during our time.

With our help, you can get more functionality out of your NDT results. Instead of holding a piece of film up to a light and trying to decipher it, you can quickly open the image on your computer, zoom in, and see more details in each image.

When you pick our high-quality team for your NDT film digitization project, you’ll notice a lot of huge benefits:

• Better resolution in each scan. We take the time required to professionally scan each piece of film, using cutting-edge technology. This leaves you with better resolution and quality in each image.
• Publish, share, and edit your test results easily. These digital files can be shared, changed, and stored with much less effort than analog images.
• Faster turnarounds. Our team works around the clock to ensure you get the fastest results possible.
• Avoid pitfalls associated with aging and improper storage. Storing analog film can be a nightmare, and the quality of your test results can degrade over time. Digital files, on the other hand, don’t have the same problems.
• Archive your NDT results. It’s important to archive the results of your NDT so you can establish a paper trail. Through our NDT film digitization services, you can do exactly that.

Our NDT film digitization services will begin with a quick conversation between us. You can tell us how many pieces of film you have, and how quickly you need them to be digitized. We’ll let you know if we can meet the demands of your project, and we’ll be honest about our capabilities.

Most of the time, we can handle the biggest and most complicated NDT film digitization projects without even breaking a sweat.

Once we’re all in agreement, our team will get started. Typically, one of our staff members will go to your site to pick up your analog film and bring it back to our home office. This is so much easier than shipping your film, since you never know when things are going to get lost in transit.

Once we have your film in-house, we’ll start delicately digitization each piece. We’ll structure the digital files so they’re easy to find, and sort them so you know exactly what to expect before opening a file.

When everything is done, we’ll go through a round of quality assurance — our team will open every image, inspect the quality, and re-take any scans as needed. We’ll share every digital file with you through a DoD-trusted filesharing service, and ask you to review the images.

If you like everything, we’ll properly destroy the analog film to keep your company secrets private.
