Getting an aerobatics propeller to market

Article Type: Equipment and software From: Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology: An International Journal, Volume 80, Issue 5

Getting an aerobatics propeller to market takes special software. Apex Machine Tool Co. has partnered with Unigraphics Solutions now for seven years. From a growth of two seats to 28 seats and three SolidEdge platforms, Apex Machine Tool Co. has stepped up to face challenging parametric and contour work.

When Aero Composites, Inc. started searching for a Design & Build House, their first question was what software do you run? The answer was a plus for Apex, a comprehensive system like Unigraphics, gave us the ability to design, draft and machine an entire project in one system allows Apex Machine Tool, Co. to participate in concurrent manufacturing processes. This reduced time to market for the Aero Composites Propeller for Aero Composites, Inc. and speeds customer deliveries.

Each individual module of UG is claimed to be a more than capable system, reportedly capable of going head to head against any of the major software available.

Additionally, for Aero Composites, Inc. through the utilisation of STEP, IGES, and DXF has never failed to accurately and confidently bring in AeroFiles at any stage of the design and manufacturing process. The design tools availed through UG are said to make it a superb modeller whether looking for aerospace props or composite tools.
