By DE Editors

EADS and Creaform have entered into a technological partnership agreement covering 3D optical measurement for aerospace and defence applications.
 
The five-year agreement provides for the development of applications in the field of optical 3D measurement for non-destructive testing (NDT), test monitoring and form and surface measurement, applied to aeronautics, space and defence.

EADS has successfully implemented Creaforms 3D scanning and optical measurement technologies since 2008. The developments planned will enable EADS to reduce its development time cycle, create synergies and reduce the time-to-market of its new products, said Yann Barbaux, head of EADS Innovation Works.
 
Innovation and the development of 3D optical measurement is at the core of our growth strategy, said Charles Mony, President of Creaform.This technological partnership with a world leader in aerospace and defence, in addition to the support that EADS Innovation Works will provide, will enable us to speed up our development process and focus our technological advances so to meet the needs of these particular sectors."
