Optical, handheld 3D surface inspection has already transformed how aerospace and aviation teams detect defects down to 2 ums, verify surface quality and roughness down to nms, and ensure compliance—delivering far more insight than traditional visual or contact-based methods. But what comes next when throughput, repeatability, and production efficiency become the priority?
In this webinar, we explore the evolution of optical 3D surface inspection from manual measurements to scalable, automated solutions designed for modern aerospace manufacturing and MRO environments. Learn how today’s advanced sensors provide the foundation for automation at every level—whether you’re taking your first steps or targeting lights-out inspection.
We’ll cover multiple automation pathways, including open interfaces for in house or partner-led integration, cost effective collaborative robot solutions that are quick to deploy, and fully enclosed Automated Metrology Systems (AMS) built for production. These systems can support multiple sensor heads, flexible part loading, secure data management, and seamless integration into quality workflows.
Finally, we’ll look at the highest level of inspection sophistication: high-speed defect detection that combines wide area optical inspection with precise, quantitative 3D surface measurements—unlocking faster decisions without sacrificing accuracy.
Join us to see how automated optical inspection is shaping the future of aerospace surface quality.
