What Insidix does

Insidix is a French privately held company specializing in advanced imaging analysis for non-destructive testing (NDT), quality control, and failure analysis. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Noyarey near Grenoble, the company serves manufacturers in electronics, automotive, medical devices, aerospace, aviation, and energy across France, Spain, Portugal, and North Africa. Its core offerings combine X-ray inspection (2D and 3D tomography), laser scanning, scanning acoustic microscopy, and proprietary Tomodensitometry (TDM) technology for surface topography and deformation measurement.

The company operates a dual business model. The laboratory services division (CONTROL by INSIDIX) performs failure analysis, dimensional control, design verification, and quality control, processing approximately 40,000 parts per year. The equipment division distributes and resells high-end NDT systems on a regional basis: X-ray and laser scanning equipment from Nikon Metrology (XT V and XT H series, ModelMaker H120, MCAx S), acoustic microscopes from OKOS (SAM Vue series, NDT CF 300), and ultrasonic components from JSR Ultrasonics (DPR500, DPR300, PRC50, transducers, digitizers). TDM by INSIDIX is a separately branded proprietary 3D computed tomography product family offered in four configurations.

Commercially, Insidix runs a sales-led go-to-market combining direct inquiry (quote-based pricing, multi-year contracts), industry trade show participation (e.g., Mesures Solutions Lyon), and partner-channel distribution through its OEM relationships. Revenue mechanics split between professional services revenue (lab analysis) and hardware sales (complete systems and ultrasonic components). The company holds ISO 9001, IPC A 610 Specialist, FrANDTB Level 2 Digital Radiography, and TUV Semi S2 certifications, and participates in the French Credit Impôt Recherche research tax credit program, signaling both quality system maturity and ongoing R&D activity. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or external investors are disclosed; founder Jean-Claude Lecomte remains associated with the company.

Core offering

Insidix delivers industrial non-destructive testing (NDT) and failure analysis through its CONTROL by INSIDIX laboratory division, performing X-ray 2D/3D inspection, acoustic microscopy, laser scanning, and proprietary Tomodensitometry (TDM) on customer components. The company complements its lab services with the sale and integration of X-ray, acoustic microscope, and laser scanning equipment from partners such as Nikon Metrology, OKOS, and JSR Ultrasonics for clients across electronics, automotive, medical, aerospace, aviation, and energy industries.

Product overview

Insidix offers a portfolio of advanced imaging analysis solutions consisting of three main brands: CONTROL by INSIDIX (expert laboratory services and equipment sales), TDM by INSIDIX (proprietary 3D computed tomography measurement technology), and a comprehensive range of inspection equipment. The product lineup includes X-Ray inspection systems (XT V series, XT H series), manual laser scanning systems (ModelMaker H120, MCAx S), acoustic microscopy systems (SAM Vue series, NDT CF 300), TDM machines in multiple form factors, and ultrasonic components (DPR series pulser/receivers, PRC50, digitizers, transducers). The lab services division provides failure analysis, dimensional control, and expertise services using these same technologies.
