Scott Blake

As president and founder of Aligned Vision, Scott Blake has pioneered cost-efficient digitalization efforts, including FOD prevention, for aerostructures fabricated from composites and other materials. Technologies include 3D industrial laser projection, large-field automatic inspection, and the use of artificial intelligence to accelerate inspection application development. He holds three patents in the area of automatic inspection, and his Composites Manufacturing Process Control System, forerunner of Aligned Vision’s BUILDGUIDE fabrication management system, garnered him the 2000 National Tibbetts award for SBIR work. Blake is currently leading his team to integrate inspection and laser projection into the digital thread for aerospace manufacturing.
