8tree makes portable 3D surface inspection tools that deliver dent-mapping, blend-out, fastener-flushness and panel-alignment results within seconds. These vision-based products integrate 8tree’s patented technology which combines extremely accurate high-speed 3D measurement and handheld-portability to deliver objectively consistent answers which are visually projected on the surface using augmented reality (AR). Simple 1-button operation empowers operators with instantly actionable ‘go/no-go’ results that boost workflow efficiency and reduce human error. Each 8tree product is push-button operator-friendly, fully self-contained and designed for use in the field and on the maintenance floor – no programming, no wires, no mess. 8tree’s dentCHECK® product is now listed in Airbus tool manuals, and is used by several airlines and MROs worldwide for enhancing airframe maintenance. Their fastCHECK® product is used by aerospace OEMs/Tier-1s to boost the inspection efficiency of rivet-flushness on new aircraft, thereby reducing aerodynamic drag.
