8tree makes AR-enabled 3D surface inspection tools that are designed with a thorough and in-depth understanding of the surface inspection challenges facing maintainers. By designing our tools around specific applications (dent-mapping, blend-out, fastener-flushness and panel alignment) we empower maintainers with instantly actionable go/no-go answers (not just data) at the click of a button.

AR-enabled real-time 3D digital damage-mapping tooling

Problem Statement:

Airframe damage impacts mission capability and availability rates, thereby delaying warfighting efforts. Traditional inspection methods are subjective, time-consuming and error-prone, and thus risk warfighter safety.

Technology Solution Statement:

8tree's dentCHECK is the world's only AR-enabled multi-spectral LED, structured light triangulation 3D scanner which is packaged as a real-time 3D damage-mapping tool. This COTS tool is purpose-built to empower the multi-capable maintainer to accelerate warfighter readiness. Hundreds of systems used daily across more than 5-dozen Commercial and Defense aerospace/aviation organizations globally.

Benefits Statement:

dentCHECK® is the world's only AR-enabled 3D damage-mapping tool purpose-built to empower maintainers to accelerate warfighter readiness --

  • 90% faster -- Rapidly and objectively dispositioning airframe & cargo-floor structural damage
  • 25x more accurate -- Consistently capturing accurate real-time measurements that shrink Turn-around-Time
