Since the aviation industry requires high-precision parts and components, 3D scanning technology is ideal for design, production and assembly in this particular industry.

How does 3D scanning improve the aviation industry? This contactless measurement technology can capture millions of data points to simulate and test complex parts such as turbines and engines. The high speed at which 3D laser scanning can retrieve data also helps reduce the airplane’s downtime.

How to perform 3D analysis of the aircraft? With the help of 3D scanning technology, the structure of each part of the designed aircraft is scanned to generate 3D data. This data is then imported into professional software to create CAD models that serve as a database for CFD analysis. CFDs are used during preliminary analysis, where you can test different configurations, thereby reducing design costs. This data can also be used to measure and check minor structural deformations that occur during a flight operation test to optimize aircraft design.

Accuracy is a priority in the design of the aircraft, since a small error can hinder the development of the product and lead to performance disruptions. 3D technology, which is an effective way to get accurate 3D data, helps improve reverse engineering of aircraft design design. It serves as an intuitive guide for engineers to understand the design idea, technical characteristics, to create aircraft with greater efficiency at lower prices.

3D scanning technology can be applied to the inspection of manufactured aircraft parts. Thus, 3D models of different parts can be generated for virtual assembly.

With virtual representations of physical models, this reduces the need for physical assembly prototypes. It is much more effective to check the accuracy of the project, identify possible assembly errors and modify the construction model.
