Boeing gave us extremely strict boundary-wrapped guidelines for both accuracy and smoothness. These qualities will help the aircraft fly at high speeds without sacrificing its efficient aerodynamic qualities. |
The propjet had tons of sampling points. We digitally removed all outliers and greatly reduced surface noise. |
This two-step process gives us the most precise scans for large, airplane-sized objects. First, we hoisted the propjet up onto jacks, placed markers on the aircraft and snapped hundreds of pictures with a high-resolution digital camera from different angles. |
