## STEP adopted for all F-16 Military Fighter Aircraft production re-bid activities

- Recent major re-bid of F-16 machined parts:
- Involved about 2300 part numbers and 50 potential suppliers
- STEP provided **95%** reduction in printing and reproduction costs and **52%** reduction in labor by the prime contractor, not including similar savings by the suppliers
- Lockheed Martin plans to implement STEP across all new aircraft programs which use CAD (F-22, F-2, T-50, JSF, etc.) and at all sites in the consolidated Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company

***STEP is being used in production for ***
***streamlined data exchange with suppliers***

- Boeing is using STEP on the Commercial Aircraft Programs 777-300 Long Range (with General Electric) and 767X (with Rolls-Royce and the Engine Alliance) for the digital pre-assembly process
- They are also using STEP to exchange C-17 Military Transport Aircraft configuration management data on a daily basis between their design facilities

***STEP is being used in ***
***production at Boeing today***

## Boeing Position  on STEP

-   STEP is identified as The Boeing Company   Standard for product data exchange.
-  Boeing will only consider purchase of products that comply with STEP.
-  It is Boeing’s intent that our partners and suppliers comply with STEP as a  requirement for maintaining business with Boeing.

***e-procurement design data exchange***

## STEP is currently in production use for the exchange of solid model design data with many external customers including:
		Allied Signal			Caterpillar
		Atlas Casting			U.S. Department of Defense
		Avondale Industries 		Lunn Industries
		Bath Iron Works (BIW)		U.S. Navy Labs
		BF Goodrich 			Newport News Shipbuilding
		Boeing				Northrop Grumman

## STEP for Product Data Management (PDM) is enabling collaborative product development
On case-by-case basis Ford will continue to use STEP for CAD data exchange
Ford is planning to use STEP to harmonize CAD and PDM data exchange within Ford

## Currently exchanging geometry data via STEP for the A3XX commercial aircraft between Engine Alliance and Airbus
On the Joint Strike Fighter military program Pratt & Whitney is effectively using STEP to communicate geometric engine interface data with program partners (Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Rolls-Royce)
Pratt & Whitney is “STEP-ready” and recommends and encourages the use of STEP for communication of design information with customers

- On the Joint Strike Fighter military program Pratt & Whitney is *effectively* using STEP to communicate geometric engine interface data with program partners (Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Rolls-Royce)
- Pratt & Whitney is “STEP-ready” and recommends and encourages the use of STEP for communication of design information with customers

***Pratt & Whitney is using STEP in***
***aircraft engine production with Boeing***

- The Delphi Data Exchange Team has designated STEP as the strategic tool for their data exchange and data sharing vision
- Unigraphics Solutions (UG) has been designated as a strategic technology for Delphi’s math based and global engineering systems
- Since many Delphi customers require data in CATIA, SDRC, or Pro/E, production STEP translation occurs daily between:  UG <=> CATIA, UG <=> SDRC/I-DEAS, and UG <=> Pro/E

***STEP is used in production at Delphi***
*** ******to translate Customer Product Data***

- Eurofighter Typhoon is a four nation military program implementing STEP for Product Data Management (PDM)
- Partners include BAE SYSTEMS, Alenia (Italy), and EADS -- European Aeronautic, Defense, and Space (consisting of CASA from Spain and Daimler Chrysler Aerospace from Germany)
- Airbus Industrie partners are currently developing STEP capability for CAD and PDM data exchange on the A3XX  commercial aircraft program

## Currently NASA is exchanging CAD models using STEP between SDRC Ideas, PTC ProEngineer, PTC ComputerVision, Solidworks, and AutoCAD
Planned uses of STEP include PDM, electronics design, thermal analysis, systems engineering, structural analysis, and machining
NASA’s long term vision is to develop a STEP infrastructure of services supporting end-to-end, interdisciplinary data integration and data reuse
