Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul centers (MRO companies), aircraft manufacturers and airlines that perform NDT inspections for in-service aircraft maintenance have increasing pressure to complete their assessments the fastest way possible. In fact, the longer an airplane is grounded, the more airlines lose money.
Creaform offers a simple, user-independent and accurate NDT solution, which includes a 3D scanner and SmartDENT 3D™ software. This solution saves users both time and money—without compromising diagnosis results and safety.

SmartDENT 3D Software
SmartDENT 3D is the first dedicated 3D visualization software on the market designed for 3D assessments and characterization of dent damages located on aircraft surfaces. It offers a guided workflow approach to simplify the measurement extraction of 3D scan data to get exactly the dimensions required for assessment of in-service airplanes.
The goal of the software is to greatly reduce operators’ impact on measurements results and shorten the time to generate final reports.
- Guided workflow
- Measures length and width of dent damages, closest neighbours, closest internal structure, maximum depth and maximum depth of dent to closest internal structure, etc.
- Assesses the ratio of maximum depth on length & width
- Offers an easy visualization with colormaps for all features
- Step-by-step process to perfectly bridge the gap between data acquisition and reporting operations
- Instant, comprehensive reporting
- Speed: 80 times faster than the pit gauge technique! It’s a fast and reliable airplane surface damage inspection tool to get aircrafts back in service.
- Flexibility: Versatile software that can be used for corrosion and dents.
- TRUsimplicity: Easy-to-use software that requires no advanced metrology skills. It enables users to address real applications.
- TRUaccuracy: The most accurate device regardless of instabilities in the environment or the users’ expertise. It provides reliable, accurate, and repeatable results, which are traceable for future analysis.
- TRUportability: Portable devices that gives you the opportunity to assess on-site damages.
