NDT SURFACE INSPECTION
FOR AEROSPACE MRO
Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) companies, aircraft manufacturers and airlines that perform NDT inspections for in-service aircraft maintenance have increasing pressure to complete their assessments in the fastest way possible without sacrificing accuracy. the longer an airplane is grounded, the more revenue airlines lose.
The Creaform.OS Integrity Aircraft Module gives MRO teams a faster and more consistent way to assess surface damage on aircraft skins. Capture scan data with a Creaform handheld scanner, analyze dents and deformation with precision, and export professional inspection reports in minutes.

HAILSTORMS DAMAGE INSPECTION
When an aircraft hits a hailstorm, MRO teams need to rely on a solution that enables them to quickly and accurately measure the impact to speed up repairs—and mitigate the negative ripple effects on future sales. Thanks to its remarkable versatility, operators can use the solution in any conditions, whether inside or outside, without sacrificing accuracy and reliability.
FLAP AND SPOILER MAINTENANCE
Traditional, manual measurement methods for inspecting flaps and spoilers, such as pit gauges, can bog down productivity. Operators need a modern solution so that they won’t waste time searching the deepest points per dent or scanning a part’s entire geometry.
AIRCRAFT INCIDENTS ANALYSIS
When an aircraft experiences hard landing or other damaging incidents, MRO teams must use a solution that can help them analyze any type of damage on any type of surface or texture. Teams need a solution to perform thorough analyses and any component shape, size or surface finish with confidence.
REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Operators who are responsible to put the aircraft back into service need a tool to validate if a component is within acceptance criteria after rework is completed. Oftentimes, MRO teams don’t have access to the CAD models of aircraft components, which means reverse engineering components becomes key.
CREAFORM INTEGRITY - AIRCRAFT
Fast and accurate aircraft damage assessment with the Creaform.OS Integrity Aircraft Module
The Creaform.OS Integrity Aircraft Module combined with one of Creaform's industry leading metrology-grade 3D scanners is designed specifically for 3D assessment of damages on aircraft surfaces. More accurate and faster than traditional methods, the software limits the operators impact on measurements and shortens the time needed to generate final reports.
The system allows for repeatable and reliable measurement regardless of operator. The analysis algorithm is sensitive to fine and shallow damages of any shape. Interaction rules, defect characterization, and reporting are optimized for the aerospace industry, and guided workflow approach simplifies measurement extractions on any shaped surface on an aircraft skin.
