After an extensive evaluation of Solid Edge and SolidWorks, Aerotech licensed 16 seats of Solid Edge for all new production planning work including tool and fixture design, based on its ability to accelerate workflow through increased automation, rapid prototyping and concurrent engineering.
Aerotech manufactures turbine and compressor components with complex geometry out of highly heat resistant Nickel-alloys and titanium.
Every product is different and has unmistakable properties which present daily design challenges.
Utilising Solid Edge's superior core modeling and process workflows, Aerotech will be able to provide specialised and high-grade components to its customers.
"We are pleased that Aerotech made the decision to standardise on Solid Edge," said Berthold Miekautsch, UGS business unit manager, Solid Edge, Germany.
"With a strong footprint in the 3D CAD market, Solid Edge continues to provide customers with the technology needed to get the job done accurately and quickly, allowing companies to innovate throughout their design cycles." Solid Edge is the CAD component of the new UGS Velocity Series, the industry's first comprehensive, preconfigured portfolio of digital product design, analysis, and data management software for the PLM mid-market.
Aerotech is supported by both the UGS Global Technical Assistance Center and by certified UGS reseller ISAP AG in Germany.
