UNIGRAPHICS SOLUTIONS HELPS APEX MACHINE TOOL CO. GET NEW PRODUCT TO MARKET

Delivering the Goods

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 our 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 reduces time to market for the Aero Composites Propeller for Aero Composites Inc. and allowed us to help our customer deliveries. Each individual module of UG is on its own a more than capable system capable of going head to head against any of the major software out there today. Additionally, for Aero Composites Inc. through the utilization of STEP, IGES, and DXF we have never failed to accurately and confidently bring in AeroFiles at any stage of the design and manufacturing process. The design tools availed through UG make it a superb modeler whether looking for aerospace props or composite tools.
