On October 15, 2025, the 2025 Shanghai Scientific Instrument Industry Innovation and Development Exchange Conference and the Songjiang District Zhongshan Scientific Instrument Industry Cluster Entering Donghua University event were held grandly. At the meeting, Aoying Detection Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Aoying"), which focuses on the research and manufacturing of high-end X-ray CT equipment, officially signed a letter of intent to cooperate with the Analysis and Testing Center of Donghua University on the "Deep Exploration of the Application of Domestic Micro CT in the Field of Advanced Composite Materials", marking the precise docking of domestic high-end scientific instruments with top universities' scientific research forces, laying the foundation for subsequent technological collaboration and industrial applications.
Breakthrough in riveting domestic instruments
As one of the backbone enterprises of Zhongshan Scientific Instrument Industry Cluster in Songjiang District, Aoying has always focused on the domestic research and production of high-end 3D X-ray CT systems since its establishment. It has established a complete product system covering Micro CT, micro nano industrial CT, high-energy CT, small animal CT, etc., and widely serves key fields such as new materials, aerospace, new energy, electronic components, etc.
This signing is an important layout for Aoying to rely on the G60 Science and Technology Innovation Corridor in Songjiang to promote the large-scale application of domestic high-end detection equipment, further demonstrating Aoying's technical strength and industry influence in the field of domestic high-end CT detection equipment.
Technology empowers scientific research, Micro CT opens up new horizons in materials research
The microstructure of advanced composite materials, such as internal fiber distribution and pore defects, directly determines their performance, while traditional detection methods are difficult to achieve accurate characterization. The high-end Micro CT equipment independently developed by Aoying, with non-invasive and sub micron level high-resolution 3D imaging capabilities, can clearly present the internal real structure of carbon fiber reinforced composite materials, 3D woven composite materials, etc., accurately calculate porosity, analyze interface bonding status, provide quantitative data support for material optimization design, and effectively solve the core detection problems in composite material research.
Donghua University relies on advantageous disciplines such as textiles and materials, and has established a scientific instrument innovation research and testing verification platform. Its analysis and testing center is also responsible for promoting the application verification of domestic instruments. The achievement of this cooperation intention will fully combine the scientific research advantages of Donghua University in materials science and the equipment technology strength of Aoying. With Donghua University's Analysis and Testing Center as the platform, collaborative exploration will be carried out around the application of domestic Micro CT in advanced composite materials, helping to solve the practical testing needs in scientific research and industry, and accelerating the transformation of scientific research achievements into industrial applications.
Focusing on industrial demand and consolidating the foundation of independent innovation
This cooperation is also an important practice for Aoying to deepen the integration of industry, academia and research. Relying on the research scene support of Donghua University and the full chain industrial ecology of Songjiang Scientific Instrument Innovation Port, Aoying will further expand its technological advantages in the field of high-end CT equipment, promote the process of domestic instrument substitution for imports, and accumulate experience for the independent innovation and industrialization development of domestic high-end scientific instruments.
In the future, Aoying will take this cooperation as an opportunity to continue to deepen the research and development of high-end X-ray CT technology, rely on the research scene of Donghua University and the industrial ecology of Songjiang, accelerate the large-scale application of domestic Micro CT in more key fields, and inject new momentum into the independent innovation of China's scientific instrument industry.
