About the firm

Laser Aviation specializes in capturing the exterior, interior, and individual components of an aircraft's exact physical dimensions with close tolerance and precision. It provides reverse engineering support with models generated in SOLIDWORKS. For projects requiring as-built drawings in both 2D and 3D for rapid prototyping, quality control, or quality assurance, Laser Aviation delivers while strictly adhering to all phases of the metrology process.

Capabilities

3D Scanning and Metrology

Service website

Utilizes advanced scanning and measurement technologies to capture precise three-dimensional data for aircraft structures and components.

  • 3D Laser Scanning

    Employs laser scanning instruments to collect surface data and generate dense point clouds for structural analysis.

  • Contact Metrology

    Provides precise physical measurements and inspection using contact coordinate measuring machines (CMM) to verify close tolerances.

  • Aircraft Mapping Process (AMP)

    Utilizes non-contact laser scanning to rapidly capture up to ten million registered measurement points, referenced to waterline, butt, and station lines.

  • Virtual Aircraft Surveying

    Captures the as-is physical state of an aircraft virtually, enabling remote configuration inspections and detail verification without travel.

Product Development and Reverse Engineering

Service website

Transforms physical parts into precise CAD models and technical drawings to support reproduction and manufacturing.

  • Product Development

    Generates 2D drawings and 3D models to enable physical component reproduction via additive manufacturing and CNC machining.

  • Reverse Engineering

    Creates accurate 3D solid models in platforms like SOLIDWORKS directly from scanned point cloud data.

Technical Documentation

Service website

Generates digital, cloud-based publications and parts logs to optimize communications across the aviation supply chain.

  • 3D Illustrated Parts Cataloging (IPC)

    Uses 3D digital files to exchange configuration and parts information efficiently between aircraft manufacturers and maintenance operators.

Develops interactive educational resources for aircraft maintenance and system training using immersive simulation technologies.

  • Immersive Training Scenarios

    Offers system-specific troubleshooting and maintenance instruction via head-mounted displays and virtual, augmented, or mixed reality environments.
