Boeing Leans on Quality System To End 787 Crisis
Boeing is working to align more closely 787 program design, engineering and production to head off quality problems ...
8tree’s dentCHECK tool is approved and recognized by all major aerospace OEMs. It is slashing dent-mapping/reporting times by 90%, while delivering unprecedented levels of measurement accuracy and SRM-compliant answers. dentCHECK is revolutionizing the speed with which airlines can inspect airframe damage caused by GSE collisions, bird strikes, hail or damages occurred in production. This reduces Turn-around-Time (TaT) and boosts operational efficiency.
The right tool for the job
Portable and cable-free, dentCHECK is suitable for inspecting damages at the line, in the hangar, on the tarmac, or at an AOG situation. The tool measures dents, bumps, lightning strikes and blend-outs on metallic or on composite surfaces.
”We were impressed with the speed and relative simplicity of the 8tree system compared with other available systems

Bring the airplane into the office
Streamline your record keeping with 8tree’s Damage Reporting Tool (DRT). It allows engineering teams to quickly create detailed SRM-compliant damage reports using inspection results from dentCHECK – all in less than 5 minutes! Easily measure critical distances, add coordinate symbols, or obtain cross-sections of damages with the DRT. This digital report can be submitted to OEMs as an auditable record.
dentCHECK-as-a-Service
Reduce Turn-around-Times by leveraging with 8tree’s service offer.
In collaboration with a global network of service partners, 8tree offers hail-damage assessments and nose-to-tail inspections during lease phase-in-out operations as a service.
Key features
Accurate and consistent
Measurement uncertainty of +/- 0.05 mm (Z-direction) and +/- 1 mm (XY-direction). Measurement performance validated time-after-time, resulting in approval of tool by several major aircraft OEM.
