. A decade or so ago, CAD/CAM systems revolutionized most manufacturing techniques, which included the sheet metal industry. Standard Metal Aerospace (SMA) engineering & product services include basic 2D and 3D shapes to complex freeform solids, single parts to part family components, stand-alone parts to full-interrelated assemblies. We can also assist in part design and development as well as using ISO Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing standards.

Key Benefits:

Fully flexible design capability to fit your company requirements.

Considerable cost savings through innovative use of parametrics, part families, and assemblies and components.

Quick response to engineering changes through the use of fully parametric models, including associative downstream updates such as N/C, CMM and associated interpart.

Capabilities:

2D and 3D Product / Part Design
2D product and part design enables quick concept of flow diagrams, complexity of fabrication and design procedures and process planning requirements. 3D-product and part design leads to solid modeling and full manufacturing methodology.

Solid Modeling
Solid modeling of product design enables commonality among functions including CMM inspections, N/C programming, infinite analysis and specific part information. A completed solid model represents full part integrity and validity to function as a master model downstream.

Use of Assemblies & Components
The use of assemblies and components enables customers to restrain part functions and relationships to precise specifications. Within assemblies and components, the use of the Solid Works system allows the customer to review several options for pro/con scenarios and best-fit assemblies.
