Application of the Month: GKN Aerospace Deutschland Enhances Safety and Reliability of Aerospace Components with Creaform Scanning Solutions

Aerospace is among the industries with the most stringent safety and quality standards. Aircraft and rocket components are subject to the strictest regulations and must undergo continuous inspections—both before deployment and during operation. However, precision alone is not enough in quality control; speed is just as critical. Without rapid inspections, downtime can quickly become costly. Traditional testing methods often fall short-lacking the speed, accuracy, and adaptability needed for today’s increasingly complex components.

This was precisely the challenge facing GKN Aerospace Deutschland GmbH, a global supplier of airframe structures, engine components, landing gear and other aerospace parts. With the help of Creaform’s advanced 3D scanning solutions, the company found a way to overcome these hurdles.
