Novineer, Inc. is co-exhibiting with AM Craft at AIX 2026, where the companies will demonstrate NoviVision — Novineer’s AI enhanced reverse engineering product — live on the AM Craft stand.
It is the first time Novineer has exhibited at AIX, and the partnership with AM Craft reflects the growing role of digital engineering tools in the manufacturing of certified aviation parts. AM Craft is one of the aviation sector’s leading additive manufacturing suppliers, holding EASA Part 21G Production Organization Approval and operating across four continents.
With more than 35,000 flight parts produced under EASA certification to date, AM Craft supplies airlines, MROs, and OEMs with installation ready and certified components. Their presence at AIX as an exhibitor brings Novineer directly in front of the engineers and program managers who deal with the part availability and reverse engineering challenges NoviVision was built to solve.
The core challenge NoviVision addresses is one the aviation community knows well: a significant proportion of in-service components exist only as physical parts, with no usable digital model. Manual CAD reconstruction of a single component takes approximately five hours. 3D scanning is faster but requires specialist equipment that is not always available at the point of need. NoviVision generates an editable CAD model from one to four smartphone photographs in approximately two minutes — fast, simple, and applicable across part types and manufacturing processes.
At AIX, visitors to the AM Craft stand will be able to see the NoviVision workflow demonstrated live: photograph a physical component, upload the images, and receive an editable STEP file within approximately two minutes. The output opens directly in standard CAD environments, including Creo and SolidWorks, with no intermediate conversion step.
The two companies are also working together on a case study examining NoviVision’s application in certified aviation parts manufacturing — a development that underscores the technology’s relevance to airworthiness workflows and EASA-regulated production environments. The AIX demonstration marks a milestone in what the two companies describe as a strategic and exclusive partnership. AM Craft and Novineer are working together to make Novineer’s digital engineering suite available to airlines and OEMs as an integrated component of AM Craft’s end-to-end certified manufacturing service.
The collaboration is structured to address the full supply chain challenge: from rapid part identification and digital model generation through to design development, airworthiness certification, and localized on-demand production. For operators dealing with part obsolescence, long OEM lead times, or the absence of usable digital data, the combined offering provides a single, certified pathway from physical part to flight-ready replacement component.
“Part availability is one of the most persistent operational challenges facing airlines and MROs today. AM Craft was built to solve it — combining EASA-certified additive manufacturing with the kind of speed and flexibility the traditional supply chain cannot offer. Our partnership with Novineer takes that capability further. By integrating NoviVision into our workflow, we can move from a physical part to a certified replacement faster than has previously been possible, and we can do so from almost anywhere in the world. That matters enormously to the engineers and procurement teams we work with daily,” said Didzis Dejus, CEO, AM Craft.
“AIX puts us in front of exactly the people who live with the missing-model problem every day. MRO engineers understand immediately what it means to get an editable CAD file from a smartphone photograph in two minutes — because they know what the alternative looks like. Co-exhibiting with AM Craft, an EASA-certified manufacturer producing flight parts at scale, is the strongest possible context in which to show what NoviVision can do,” added Dr. Ali Tamijani, Founder and CEO, Novineer, Inc.
Novineer’s suite extends beyond reverse engineering into performance simulation and generative design. NoviPath, the company’s polymer performance simulation product, predicts stiffness, strength, and failure in additively manufactured parts before printing — using actual toolpath data rather than treating parts as uniform solids. It is integrated with Stratasys’ GrabCAD Print Pro as part of a strategic partnership announced in 2025. NoviDesign completes the suite with generative design capability, producing optimized, editable, manufacturable CAD models.
