8tree has announced the deployment of its cutting-edge dentCHECK tool by Squadron 435 of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), stationed at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Winnipeg. This marks a significant milestone in 8tree's continued expansion into the defence sector.
The RCAF will utilise dentCHECK to support damage assessment on its CC130H Hercules fleet. Initially introduced on a trial basis, the deployment has strong potential for broader adoption across Canada's air force. This development underscores the growing demand within military aviation for technologies that simplify workflows, increase consistency and accelerate return-to-service times—areas in which 8tree continues to lead.
dentCHECK, developed and manufactured by 8tree, offers rapid, SRM-compliant digital dent mapping in minutes, requiring no surface preparation or complex calibration. Its ability to provide precise, repeatable, and objective results positions it as an ideal tool for military operations, where accuracy and efficiency are paramount. The integration of dentCHECK is expected to streamline aircraft surface inspections, reduce maintenance turnaround times, and ensure aircraft remain in peak operational readiness.
Unlike traditional inspection methods, 8tree's dentCHECK eliminates subjectivity and significantly improves workflow standardisation. The tool is fully cordless, portable, and capable of operating in extreme environmental conditions—further affirming its suitability for demanding military applications.
This engagement with the RCAF reflects 8tree's broader mission to empower frontline teams with advanced tools that deliver tangible operational benefits. As defence operators increasingly turn to smart, agile solutions, 8tree stands out as a trusted innovator in aerospace maintenance technology.
