Sigmetrix To Be Sponsors at the Generis American Aerospace & Defense Show in Phoenix, AZ

Attendees will be able to explore how Sigmetrix can help them maximize the return on their MBD/MBE investment as well as improving profitability by balancing product quality with manufacturing costs.

MCKINNEY, Texas  – December 1, 2023—  Sigmetrix, global experts in Mechanical Variation Management announced that they will be attending the  Generis American Aerospace & Defense Summit being held on December 4-5 at the We-Ko-Pa Resort in Phoenix, Arizona at Booth 19.

The  American Aerospace & Defense Summit provides insights and strategies to enhance the professional development of executives involved in the aerospace and defense industry. Strategies pertaining to optimizing supply chain, manufacturing, technology, and engineering will be the pertinent focus at this year’s conference. At this year’s aerospace & defense event, a larger focus will be on driving innovation in a competitive landscape, maximizing supplier relationships, mitigating costs, assessing operational standards, identifying growth opportunities, and building quality throughout your operations.

Major initiatives that are helping companies with this automation and quality/cost management are Model-Based Definition (MBD), Industry 4.0, and Digital Thread.â�¯ Many companies are starting down the path toward a Model-Based Enterprise, a business practice centered around the use of the model as the master data source, but that path can be challenging. The Digital Thread and MBD rely on a connected architecture so that data can flow. Industry 4.0 is a practice designed to make those moves quickly, helping to build key digital components to support a Model-Based Enterprise. There are many facets to becoming truly Model-Based, but as the name implies, the key is the models themselves and their connections to various parameters.â�¯ It is important that all requirements be tied directly to this comprehensive set of models to ensure traceability and usability.â�¯ One set of requirements critical to the quality of any product is its dimensional requirements used to control mechanical variation.  Sigmetrix, with its knowledge of managing mechanical variation, can help maximize the return on your MBD / MBE investment in the following ways – ensure the integrity of your MBD to maximize usability. Guide the creation of optimal dimensioning schemes, including GD&T.

  • Promote consistent knowledge between contributors and consumers.
  • Assess and improve the maturity of your organization’s Mechanical Variation Management.

Mechanical variation is a reality of the manufacturing process and can be costly and time consuming if not properly controlled. The reality is that variation can and should be managed, and there are several steps you can take to get there.  Sigmetrix focuses on helping their customers improve profitability by balancing product quality with the cost of manufacturing. This benefit can be achieved by quickly iterating to findâ�¯dimensional controlsâ�¯forâ�¯desired quality.â�¯ 

  • Making cost-effectiveâ�¯process decisions. 
  • Determining impactâ�¯and action for “outâ�¯of spec” parts. 
  • Assisting with sustaining engineering and cost reduction efforts. 
  • Providing consistent data and understanding throughout the process. 

“Sigmetrix helps companies manage their Mechanical Variation to make better products,” states Ed Walsh, Vice President of Global Sales & Marketing. “Variation is something that is inevitable in manufacturing and can affect the quality of products. The Aerospace & Defense Industry relies on rigorous safety and production standards, which is why it is important to properly manage variation. If not managed correctly, this can make products less competitive, create a poor customer experience or even cause a recall if products aren’t up to standard.” 

Attendees will want to make sure to catch Stephen Werst, Director of Customer Success & Product Strategy, present “Mechanical Variation Management – An Engineering, Manufacturing, and Inspection Strategy Directly Influencing Product Profitability” on Monday December 4th at 2:10PM MST.  

In addition to demonstrating  CETOL 6σ at their booth Sigmetrix will be showing off their entire portfolio of comprehensive, easy-to-use solutions including:

  • CETOL 6σ, a 3D tolerance analysis solution that works with designs from PTC Creo, SOLIDWORKS, CATIA V5-6, and NX CAD systems.
  • GD&T Advisor, an interactive tool that provides expert guidance on the correct application of GD&T / GPS consistent with either the ASME or ISO standards.
  • EZtol, a standalone 1-D tolerance stackup analysis tool that works with designs from most popular CAD systems as well as CAD-neutral file formats.
  • Training provided through more than a dozen instructor-led and computer-based courses covering basic to advanced GD&T/GPS, MBE, and MBD.
  • Consulting and implementation services team with years of experience in tolerance analysis and GD&T definition offers a variety of consulting services to augment your team, speed your project along and run analyses for your assemblies.
