Cut downtime and reduce aircraft maintenance costs with SmartDent 3D, a new surface damage analysis software from Creaform that works in tandem with the HandySCAN 3D.

Designed specifically for aerospace applications, SmartDent 3D is an aircraft surface inspection software for non-destructive testing (NDT). Paired with the HandySCAN 3D scanner, the software represents a safe, affordable, and time-saving solution for airlines and maintenance, repair and overhaul service companies.

Steeves Roy, NDT Product Manager at Creaform writes: “Following our operator-friendly design thinking and with deep consideration of user requests, we have developed a software that streamlines data processing from a 3D scanner for easy and reliable assessment and characterization of surface defects on aircraft . . . As predictive maintenance becomes more prominent, aviation maintenance professionals and MRO providers are increasingly on the lookout for innovative methods that allow quicker and safer decisions to be made on part defects outcome.”

With the HandySCAN 3D and new SmartDent 3D software, Creaform’s premiere metrology solution offers the following:

• User-independency (repeatable results regardless of user)

• Up to 80x faster than pit gauge techniques

• Reliable, repeatable, and accurate results

• Simple to use software with short learning curve

• Real-time 3D visualization and on-site instant reporting available

SmartDent 3D provides a guided workflow with an intuitive UI to bridge the gap between data acquisition and report production, unlike generic MRO software. Achieve exact dimensions required for in-service aircraft assessment with simple extraction of 3D scanning data. Eliminate the need for complex 3D data handling and advanced knowledge in metrology software with its easy-to-use interface. Be confident in your results all in a cost-effective and time-reducing package with no compromises on safety.
