Material defects are often hidden inside a workpiece and are only visible after processing in the final quality test. If you recognize them early on, processing can be stopped immediately, and valuable machine time is saved. As part of a research project by Pro²Future, Graz University of Technology and Siemens, it was possible to detect …
