Thiax secures PSV Hafnium backing for real-time X-ray inspection technology

Danish deeptech firm Thiax has secured significant investment from PSV Hafnium to bolster its innovative real-time X-ray inspection technology. This development is poised to revolutionize quality assurance processes within high-performance composite industries, particularly aerospace, by moving beyond traditional destructive and limited non-destructive testing methods. The backing signifies strong confidence in Thiax's ability to deliver advanced material insights directly on the production line. Thiax's proprietary system merges cutting-edge X-ray diffraction, multispectral X-ray detectors, and 3D measurement technology to provide unprecedented depth-resolved visibility into polymer microstructures. Unlike existing methods that may only identify basic defects, Thiax's technology can measure critical parameters like strain and crystallinity, offering a deeper understanding of material integrity. This sophisticated analysis is delivered via a compact, production-ready instrument designed for seamless in-line integration. This technological advancement is set to profoundly impact aerospace manufacturing, where stringent quality control is paramount, by enabling non-destructive, real-time inspection of internal material behavior at industrial speeds. The implications extend to enhancing spacecraft quality control and supporting the growing adoption of recycled polymers in consumer goods. Thiax plans to leverage the investment to refine its system for stable industrial application, advance pilot projects, and scale its organizational capabilities for commercial validation.
