The high resolution 3D X-ray microscopy market has observed rapid development in the recent years. High-resolution 3D X-ray microscopes (XRM) have gained immense popularity as they solve the inherent challenges associated with 2D methods. In response to the limitations of 2D methods such as inaccuracy and sample consumption during the imaging process, new techniques were developed for 3D characterization. X-ray microscopy (XRM) of additive manufacturing parts is essential in ensuring efficient and effective process development of such components.

Defect detection and characterization within metal parts with the help of high resolution 3D x-ray microscopy results in better understanding of interior structures of complex parts. The development of metal additive manufacturing is progressively moving to the mainstream which necessitates for improved understanding of the process and is a key driver of the growth of the global high resolution 3D X-ray microscopy market. Rigorous research and development activities in the field of image solutions and microscopy has spurred the growth of the market.

High resolution 3D x-ray microscopes find their application in diverse industries such as oil & gas, material science, semiconductors, metrology, life science, healthcare, and others and growth in end-use industries augments the growth of the global high resolution 3D x-ray microscopy market.
