On November 30, 2025, the Aerospace Equipment Intelligent Manufacturing Innovation and Development Conference (AIMC) wrapped up in Shandong province, hosted by the People’s Government of Fushan District, Yantai City, and Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. With the theme “Intelligent Manufacturing Leads the Future of Aerospace,” the conference attracted over 350 experts, academics, and enterprises, with PMT invited as a key player in high-precision 3D measurement technologies.
Live Demos Highlight the Power of Measuring Arms
In the technical exhibition zone, PMT conducted dynamic on-site demonstrations, showcasing the core capability of its portable measuring arm solutions: performing accurate measurement anytime, anywhere.
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.
PMT’s Technological Leadership Sparks Industry Dialogue
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.
Insights into Advanced Technologies and Industry Trends
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.
Conclusion: PMT’s Role in the Future of Aerospace Manufacturing
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.
