As leaders in the development and application of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, TWI provides real-world inspection solutions across a range of industry sectors.

This experience and expertise led to the creation of commercially-available and bespoke NDT software products in response to requests for assistance from our Industrial Member companies.

Our inspection software can provide acquisition and analysis along with the next generation of asset servicing and validation.

Our decades of experience in software development has seen us provide a range of solutions for industry including our advanced ultrasonic inspection package, TWI CrystalTM and the associated TWI Crystal Software Development Kit (SDK).

    An extensive course covering FMC, VSA and PWI theory as well as practical TWI CrystalTM training. Suitable for individuals with phased array background knowledge.
  • TWI Crystal™ – Application Specific Training
    A practical course tailored to individual customer requirements. Courses can be aligned with independent procedures and focus on specific inspection applications.

TWI Crystal Software Development Kit (SDK)

The TWI Crystal Software Development Kit (SDK) provides a simple to use software architecture to control and interact with a wide range of sensors, robotics and hardware control systems. 

Allowing for access to the most advanced Non Destructive Testing (NDT) inspection algorithms, the SDK can be linked to a friendly but comprehensive graphical user interface (GUI) for data interpretation and analysis. User code development is simplified through access to different abstraction layers, including user interface, data, and acquisition layers.

Please contact crystal@twi.co.uk for further information or to see if you are eligible for a free 90 day trial of our TWI Crystal commercial application, which is built on the TWI Crystal SDK.
