Aerotech Standardizes on UGS' Solid Edge for Production Planning of Aerospace Engine and Industrial Gas Turbine Components
UGS Corp. announced Aerotech Peissenberg GmbH & Co. KG, a member of the DROSTEN-Group and manufacturer of complex and highly stressed components for aero engines and industrial gas turbines, has standardized on Solid Edge® software. Aerotech will use Solid Edge for production planning of turbine discs, rotating and static air seals, casings, shafts and hubs using 3D-models of its customers' designs.
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. Utilizing Solid Edge's superior core modeling and process workflows, Aerotech will be able to provide specialized and high-grade components to its customers.
"We are pleased that Aerotech made the decision to standardize 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 (http://www.isap.de ).
