SHINING 3D and LOONG TECHNIC Forge Strategic Partnership to Digital-Intelligent in Civil Aviation Maintenance

On March 19, at MRO GUANGZHOU 2025, SHINING 3D and LOONG TECHNIC officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement, marking a major milestone in the digital-intelligent transformation of civil aviation maintenance.

This collaboration will leverage SHINING 3D’s high-accuracy 3D vision technology as a core, integrated with LOONG TECHNIC’s extensive civil aviation maintenance expertise. The partnership will focus on three key areas: technological breakthroughs via a joint laboratory, the co-development of industry standards, and the expansion of 3D inspection applications. Together, they aim to establish a new paradigm for 3D digital-intelligent inspection in aircraft maintenance, covering critical component assessment, damage evaluation, maintenance decision-making, and digital archiving. This initiative is set to enhance both the efficiency and accuracy of civil aviation maintenance.

SHINING 3D and LOONG TECHNIC: Signing Ceremony of the Strategic Cooperation

With two decades of 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 fastest-growing 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 strategic partnership is poised to drive breakthroughs across multiple civil aviation maintenance applications.

Application scenario of high-accuracy 3D scanning technology in civil aviation maintenance

For instance, high-accuracy 3D scanning technology will replace manual exterior inspections, enabling precise and quantifiable aircraft surface damage assessment. Additionally, 3D scanning data will be deeply integrated into predictive maintenance systems to build data-driven intelligent decision-making frameworks. Furthermore, by fusing 3D digital modeling with end-to-end production processes, the partnership seeks to establish a model-driven intelligent manufacturing system. Through the seamless integration of technological expertise and real-world applications, the two companies will deliver more precise, efficient, and adaptable digital-intelligent solutions for aviation maintenance.

Yang Suili, Chairman of LOONG TECHNIC, emphasized: “This collaboration marks a pivotal move in the digital-intelligent transformation of civil aviation maintenance. It will not only enhance our operational efficiency but also set an industry benchmark for innovative practices.”

"SHINING 3D will fully leverage its expertise in precision measurement to break through traditional maintenance models and overcome the limitations of aircraft component quality inspections alongside LOONG TECHNIC,” said Yang Yang, General Manager of SHINING 3D’s Metrology 3D Scanning Department.
