dentCHECK is the world’s only handheld-portable, completely wireless 3D scanner tool purpose-built for aviation maintenance.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has integrated dentCHECK into its Aviation Maintenance Science (AMS) curriculum. dentCHECK is the world’s only handheld-portable, completely wireless 3D scanner tool with integrated AR that is purpose-built for the aviation maintenance industry. It is now used by the world’s leading commercial, cargo and defense MROs.
Kris Hammer, associate chair of the AMS department said, “Part of that preparation is incorporating cutting-edge technology in our curriculum, especially when that technology is already being used by leading aviation and aerospace maintenance facilities. Advanced aircraft require advanced inspection methods, and 8tree’s dentCHECK is a perfect example of this type of technology. Our students getting hands-on experience with the dentCHECK equipment gives them an additional edge over graduates from other Part 147 schools.”
Arun Chhabra, CEO, 8tree said, “This is a major step in our journey to help prepare students for the technologies and practices that await them in the aviation maintenance workplace. By engaging the technical curiosity of today’s students, tools like dentCHECK help increase their interest in aviation maintenance careers. This strengthens their employment prospects with airlines, MROs, and OEMs who already use such technologies in increasing numbers. Additionally, it addresses the industry’s chronic shortage of maintenance technicians by creating a strong pipeline of qualified candidates. We are delighted to have Embry-Riddle as the launch partner for 8tree’s Academic Initiative in the aviation industry, and look forward to helping the industry navigate the ongoing generational transition in the workforce.”

Embry-Riddle’s AMS department prides itself in preparing graduates to work in all sectors of aviation and aerospace maintenance. dentCHECK delivers real-time ‘go/no-go’ answers at the push of a single button and significantly reduces damage-mapping and reporting times, compared to traditional manual methods that use depth-gauges and straight-edges. Approved and recognized by all major aerospace OEMs like Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, and Embraer, dentCHECK is used by the world’s leading airlines/MROs for fast and accurate damage mapping and SRM-compliant multi-dent reporting. When compared to traditional inspection methods, dentCHECK delivers a 90 percent gain in efficiency and 35x better measurement consistency.
