3D MASTER ( Viet Nam) now certified by aerospace industry.
Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) companies, aircraft manufacturers and airlines that perform NDT inspections for in-service aircraft maintenance have increasing pressure to complete their assessments in the fastest way possible without sacrificing accuracy. ln fact, the longer an airplane is grounded, the more airlines lose money.
The Challenges in Aviation Maintenance.
Hailstorms damage inspection.
When an aircraft hits a hailstorm, MRO teams need to rely on a solution that enables them to quickly and accurately measure the impact to speed up repairs—and mitigate the negative ripple effects on future sales. Thanks to its remarkable versatility, operators can use the solution in any conditions, whether inside or outside, without sacrificing accuracy and reliability.
Flap and spoiler maintenance.
Traditional, manual measurement methods for inspecting flaps and spoilers, such as pit gauges, can bog down productivity. Operators need a modern solution so that they won’t waste time searching the deepest points per dent or scanning a part’s entire geometry.
Aircraft incidents analysis.
When an aircraft experiences hard landing or other damaging incidents, MRO teams must use a solution that can help them analyze any type of damage on any type of surface or texture. Teams need a solution to perform thorough analyses and any component shape, size or surface finish with confidence.
Regularly scheduled maintenance.
Operators who are responsible to put the aircraft back into service need a tool to validate if a component is within acceptance criteria after rework is completed. Oftentimes, MRO teams don’t have access to the CAD models of aircraft components, which means reverse engineering components becomes key.
Creaform's HandySCAN AEROPACK is an easy, fast, and accurate solution for MRO companies.

3D MASTER - A pioneer in the field of 3D Scanning and 3D Printing Technology in Vietnam - has made a resounding mark by passing many strict inspection criteria of the aerospace industry and officially becoming the first Vietnamese company to be approved for 3D measurement capacity in aircraft surface inspection, aircraft components in the maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MOR) industry, with non-destructive methods (NDT) based on modern handheld 3D scanning technology solutions from Creaform HandySCAN Black+ Elite.

This certification was issued after the Aircraft Engineering Company Limited (VAECO) recognized the practical implementation results of 3D MASTER Company Limited. 3D MASTER is the first Vietnamese Company to successfully combine the HandySCAN Black+ Elite 3D scanner with Creaform's powerful and easy-to-use VXelements software, which can reduce measurement time by up to 90% compared to traditional methods in Vietnam.
Metrology-grade measurements for aircraft maintenance: Users can digitize dent damage on metallic parts with the accuracy of up to 0.025 mm and a resolution of up to 0.025 mm ( hoặc 0.012 mm) with high repeatability and traceable certificate.
Intuitive pass/fail testing: With its intuitive design and real-time software visualization, the 3D scanner ensures ultra-short learning curves so operators can get the critical information they need to regardless of their experience levels. All they have to do is point and shoot!
Real-time visualization and portability: Because it is so light and small, it can be used in any work environment, such as a hangar or outdoors, as it adapts to ambient and tarmac lighting. Users can easily perform 3D surface inspection of any part of an aircraft.
This certification by an industry leader like VAECO symbolizes 3D MASTER’s commitment to helping the aerospace as much as the other industries address their high-level of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) requirements.

With this certification, more and more industry players are turning to 3D MASTER to facilitate and speed up their 3D measurement processes to carry out accurate assessments of aircraft mechanical damage. Our goal is to provide user-friendly and highly advanced solutions to get airplanes back in the skies faster and enable airlines to slash the high costs associated with grounded aircraft.
In the meantime, quality control engineers and MRO operators looking to improve their turnaround times and profitability can contact 3D MASTER to find out more about the solution.
