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
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.

STEP comprises over 25% of IBM's globale-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
Electric Boat uses STEP as their data exchange method of choice

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
Ford uses STEP as a core component in their application integration architecture

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
Pratt & Whitney is using STEP inaircraft 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 implementing STEP on the Eurofighter Typhoon Project

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
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
has adopted STEP for data exchange
