Interactive 3D Drone Mesh & Spatial Defect Digital Twin
Turn drone LiDAR and photogrammetry scans (.obj, .glb) into browser-based interactive Digital Twins. Pin ultrasonic thickness readings, measure crack lengths, and deliver white-labeled 3D models with 0% platform markup.
Live 3D Digital Twin Studio
Interactive WebGL viewer running directly in your browser. Click defect markers to inspect calibration readings.
Featured Aerial NDT & Confined-Space Drones
Collision-tolerant UAVs and photogrammetry LiDAR scanners engineered for RVI inspection
Next-generation ultra-high-resolution Total Focusing Method (TFM/FMC) and Plane Wave Imaging (PWI) Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing flaw detector. Engineered for advanced weld integrity, hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC), and thick-wall pressure vessel diagnostic scanning under API 510/570 standards.
Collision-tolerant confined-space inspection drone equipped with 3D LiDAR mapping, thermal imaging, 4K visual sensor, and ultrasonic thickness (UT) payload. Engineered for internal inspection of storage tanks, boiler drums, flare stacks, and pressure vessels without human entry.
Advanced ultrasonic thickness gauge compatible with dual and single element transducers for internal corrosion, pitting wall loss, and high-temperature pipe survey (API 570 / ASME B31.3).
Drone Photogrammetry Storage & Twin Add-Ons
Expand your cloud vault for large drone LiDAR datasets and enable client 3D deliverable links.
How NDT & Drone Reports Work with the 3D Interactive Viewer
Traditional NDT inspections deliver static 80–120 page PDF photo dumps where engineers struggle to pinpoint exactly where corrosion pits or cracks exist on complex geometry. NDT Exchange bridges the gap between field LiDAR/RVI scans and client deliverables.
Drone Flight & Mesh Ingest
Drones (Flyability Elios 3, Skydio X10, DJI M350) capture indoor/outdoor photogrammetry and raw LiDAR point clouds, exported as lightweight .obj or .glb meshes.
Spatial Telemetry Pinning
Inspectors click directly on the 3D surface mesh to drop spatial defect pins with exact (X, Y, Z)coordinates, attaching UT thickness readings, thermal hotspot °C, or visual crack depths.
Sub-mm Web Measurement
Asset owners and plant engineers open the model in any browser without AutoCAD or heavy software. They measure crack lengths, verify nozzle clearances, and cut elevation cross-sections in real time.
Hybrid Deliverable & QR Code
Generates an authenticated, white-labeled client URL plus an ASNT / API 510 compliant PDF report with an embedded 3D QR code that instantly opens the exact anomaly in 3D for auditors.

Technical articles, damage mechanism guides, inspection scopes, engineering formulas, and code summaries published across the NDT Exchange knowledge base are synthesized with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and specialized industrial engineering reference models.
While all content is cross-referenced against authoritative standards (ASME, API, AWS, ISO, ASTM, NACE/AMPP), it is provided strictly for educational, preliminary scoping, and reference purposes. It does not constitute formal professional engineering advice, procedure qualifications (WPS/PQR), or certified inspection sign-offs. Always verify testing parameters, wall thickness sizing, and flaw acceptance criteria against the latest governing code edition and consult a certified Level III, Professional Engineer (PE), or certified inspector (API 510/570/653, AWS CWI, CSWIP) prior to field execution.
