“We make precision 3D measurement as simple as taking a photo”

8tree tools, technology and services boost your production quality by making precision 3D measurement that is as easy as taking a photo.

The world's leading Airlines & MROs across the Commercial, Military, Cargo and Business aviation sectors use 8tree's dentCHECK tool and 8tree's dentCHECK-as-a-service for mapping aircraft damage and creating detailed SRM-compliant digital damage reports. From spot-checks, to hail-damage assessment, to nose-to-tail inspections during lease phase-in/out operations, dentCHECK empowers operators to assess airframe damage up to 90% faster and with greater accuracy and consistency than existing methods. This in turn reduces Turn-around-Times and boosts operational efficiency.

8tree's product design is guided by five core principles --

1) Portability

Unlike most other inspection systems, an 8tree system is fully self-contained and portable – just one box in a compact and light weight form-factor. All you need is in there. Nothing more is needed to operate it – no power supply, no cables, no monitor, no keyboard. Just press the blue button and within two seconds the result is clearly projected on the part, coloured in red, green or blue to tell you what’s in and what’s out of tolerance.

2) Simplicity

We believe in Usability Engineering. We think of ways to hide all the complexity of a traditional 3D scanning and image processing system so that it’s simple for the operator to use – as simple as taking a photo with your cell phone. This includes automatically checking for brightness, distance, movement, contrast, reflection etc.

3) Speed

Any 8tree tool gives you a measurement result within seconds.

4) Accuracy

Each 8tree system comes with a traceability report, that demonstrates an unbroken chain of calibrations to the national standards as references. All tools are calibrated in 8tree's in-house ISO17025 Calibration Lab.

5) Actionable Results

8tree’s 3D inspection tools use Augmented Reality (AR) in such a manner that the measurement results are projected back on the inspected surface – you will work more efficiently and reliably while ensuring that the technology bends to your needs:

- To make a computer monitor obsolete

- To give immediate & actionable feedback on the physical part

- To create an easy-to-understand link between the part geometry and the representation of results
