Success Story:Lockheed Martin

STEP is being used to support the F-16, F-22, Joint Strike Fighter, STEP is being used to support the F-16, F-22, Joint Strike Fighter, F-2 and KTX-2 programs at Lockheed MartinF-2 and KTX-2 programs at Lockheed Martin

• Lockheed Martin is pioneering the STEP standard with smaller businesses that are its supply base

• STEP has realized significant savings and process improvements

– Within engineering design, pilots show a 10% improvement in reliability of data exchange, 10% process savings for non-composite parts, and 50% process savings for composites

– For manufacturing, projected savings for tool design on CAD/CAM systems is 27% and 38% for NC CAM systems due to elimination of data re-entry

Success Story: STEP Translation Center

STEP is used to transfer product designs between GM divisions, STEP is used to transfer product designs between GM divisions, their customers and supplierstheir customers and suppliers

• Production operations of STEP Translation Center (STC) began May 1, 1996

• Initial focus was translation of solids between UG and CATIA using AP203; additional CAD systems are in testing

• GM has performed detailed IGES/STEP testing which has resulted in plans to phase out the use of IGES

• First GM divisions to use STC:– Delphi Automotive Systems– GM Powertrain– Delphi Delco Electronics Systems
