Creaform Handyscan, a metrology-grade 3D laser scanner, is now being used on all models of Boeing commercial airplanes in order to inspect blends and dents.

Creaform, an international leader in non-destructive testing (NDT) and portable 3D measurement solutions, has reported that its Creaform HandySCAN 3D™ metrology-grade 3D scanner is now available to be utilized for reporting and recording the physical characteristics of aircraft blends and dents on all models of Boeing commercial airplanes.

A service letter from Boeing has been released which includes guidance on how to use the Creaform HandySCAN 3D™ for measuring blends and dents on airplanes. Together, the SmartDENT 3D™ solution and the Creaform HandySCAN 3D scanner were utilized in the development of advising Boeing’s quality specifications for the service letter.
