The demonstration featured the scanning and inspection of typical aerospace components. It clearly displayed the outstanding performance of PMT’s blue light scanners integrated with the GAMMA and ALPHA measuring arms. These portable arms excel in high precision, high efficiency, and true portability. What’s more, PMT’s Portable CMM Arm solution is capable of capturing complex surfaces, comparing inspection data with CAD models in real-time, and generating reports rapidly. The versatility of the PMT Arm was also highlighted by its detachable 3D scanners, which enhance measurement accuracy and broaden the scope of inspections across various aerospace applications.
During the event, PMT’s booth attracted a continuous stream of visiting experts. Mr. Chen Zhonggui, Researcher at the China Academy of Space Technology and Chief Designer of the Beidou-3 satellite, held an in-depth and productive discussion with PMT’s Founder and CEO, Tom Tai. They explored specific measurement challenges in aerospace quality control, first-article inspection, and other areas. PMT’s independent technological capabilities in providing portable measurement solutions generated strong interest from many enterprises seeking to build efficient and secure digital inspection loops, laying a solid foundation for potential future collaboration.
The conference agenda focused on three core areas: “Advanced Forming, Intelligent Manufacturing, and Smart Inspection,” featuring high-level keynote speeches and expert reports.
To bolster innovation in domestically developed technologies, discussions on intelligent manufacturing covered critical topics such as customization for non-standard aerospace components and key CNC machining technologies. A consistent emphasis was placed on the practical application and indispensable role of intelligent inspection—powered by tools like portable coordinate measuring machines—within integrated product design, manufacturing, and production lines.
PMT’s participation in AIMC 2025 not only showcased its leading-edge portable measuring arms but also reinforced its commitment to driving innovation in the aerospace sector. By offering highly accurate and portable measurement solutions, PMT is positioned as a leader in precision measurement technology, playing a vital role in the future of intelligent aerospace manufacturing. The event also laid the foundation for future collaborations, reinforcing the importance of continued innovation and partnerships in the rapidly evolving aerospace industry.
