TeraView’s 3D terahertz pulsed imaging (TPI™) technique is used to non-destructively and rapidly characterize the thickness and uniformity of coating layers on metal and polymer automobile structures. Furthermore, 3D TPI™ provides the unique ability to identify the presence and to investigate the origins of defects in multi-layered painted car panels with both metallic and plastic (sheet-moulded compound parts) substrates.

- Non-contact remote measurements
- Suitability for a variety of coating films and substrates
- High precision and accuracy for thickness determination
- The ability to measure the thickness of individual layers in multi-layered coatings
- Measurement of the coating thickness uniformity distribution over an area
- Identification of painting defects, and have the ability to determine the origin of the defect
- Monitoring of wet-to-dry processes
