creaform，是便携式和高度准确的3D测量解决方案和工程服务的全球领导者，今天宣布，它将将其在非破坏性测试（NDT）方面的专业知识扩展到航空航天行业。通过扩大对检查解决方案的访问，该公司旨在更好地启用航空公司，以及维护，维修和大修（MRO）服务公司，以更有效地对服务机场安全进行评估，同时降低成本和节省停机时间。
As predictive maintenance becomes more prominent, aviation maintenance professionals and aircraft MRO providers are increasingly on the lookout for innovative methods that enable quicker and safer decisions to be made on the outcome of part defects. The mapping of external surface defects on aircraft parts, which can prove difficult to obtain using traditional methods—namely hail damage, bird impacts and lightning strikes on the fuselage and wings—can be assessed with 3D scanning. When paired with advanced inspection tools, such solution cuts down on the operator’s impact on measurements, shortens time to get the final report, and reinforces decision-making.

To ensure that the solution matches航空维护industry requirements and properly reflects the market needs, Creaform is partnering with major aircraft manufacturers for beta testing. The surface inspection solution for MRO service companies in the aerospace industry is set for release in October 2017.
Earlier this year, Creaform announced that the HandySCAN 3D metrology-grade laser scanner had made its first major step into the aerospace industry. It was added to the Airbus Technical Equipment Manual (TEM) which is referenced in the Airbus Structure Repair Manual (SRM).
Creaform的NDT产品解决方案以其石油和天然气行业的NDT解决方案而闻名Handyscan 3D™ portable metrology-grade 3D scanner and its Pipecheck™ NDT software, both of which allow automatic on-site inspection, detection, and characterization of pipeline defects. With traceable and repeatable inspection data and results, operators can access critical information for making safer decisions.
