The collaboration pairs SHINING 3D’s scanners with LOONG TECHNIC’s aviation expertise.
SHINING 3D and LOONG TECHNIC have signed a cooperation agreement to apply 3D scanning technology in civil aviation maintenance. The collaboration combines SHINING 3D’s scanning systems with LOONG TECHNIC’s experience in the aviation industry. Focus areas include joint research, efforts to create standardized practices, and exploring new uses for 3D inspection. The initiative is intended to support more effective assessments, documentation, and decision-making in aircraft maintenance.
With expertise in high-accuracy 3D vision technology, SHINING 3D has developed micron-level accuracy 3D scanning products that rapidly generate high-fidelity digital models of aircraft. These models provide precise data support for dimensional inspection, damage analysis, and reverse engineering. Meanwhile, LOONG TECHNIC, one of China’s comprehensive civil aviation maintenance service providers, offers a broad range of services, including line maintenance, heavy maintenance, engine repair, component overhaul, and aviation innovation research and development. The company is advancing its strategy by developing cutting-edge AI-powered troubleshooting engineers and smart AR glasses. Its AI diagnostic system integrates over 200 predictive monitoring models, enabling real-time fault diagnosis and performance degradation forecasting, thereby significantly improving operational efficiency.
This partnership aims to support advancements in various civil aviation maintenance applications.
3D scanning technology will be used to replace manual exterior inspections, supporting more consistent and measurable assessments of aircraft surface damage. The resulting data will also be incorporated into predictive maintenance systems to support data-informed decision-making. Additionally, the collaboration aims to align 3D digital modeling with production workflows to help develop a model-based approach to maintenance and manufacturing. By combining technical tools with practical industry applications, the two companies plan to support more structured and adaptable maintenance processes in aviation.
