Carbon fibre with paint coating

In this example, thanks to one of our clients, we can share some images of a carbon fibre material with a painted coating. We show how the coating thickness can be assessed with an automatic “wall thickness analysis” across the field of view, indicating variations in thickness by colour changes. A fibre orientation analysis shows how the fibres are oriented in 3D space, which can be useful for quick assessment of such materials for a good random distribution.
