Gulfstream Launches 3-D Paint Projection Process
The software projects a multi-dimensional paint scheme onto the aircraft, eliminating the need for design on a flat schematic.

Gulfstream’s completions center at its Savannah, Ga. headquarters has incorporated 3-D projection technology into the process of designing and executing aircraft paint schemes, for more flexibility and better quality. Gulfstream engineers helped design the software, which projects a three-dimensional paint scheme onto the aircraft while accounting for how the curved surface might distort the image. The process eliminates the 2-D design phase, allowing technicians to forego plotting the design on the aircraft skin using just a flat schematic.
