Sigmetrix to Sponsor at Generis American A&D Summit 2024

Attendees will be able to explore how Sigmetrix can help them achieve a faster time to market by reducing design and prototype cycles along with helping to maximize the return on your MBD/MBE investment.

MCKINNEY, Texas – November 26, 2024-- Sigmetrix, global experts in mechanical variation management announced that they will be attending the Generis American Aerospace & Defense Summit being held December 4-5 at the Renaissance Phoenix Glendale Hotel & Spa at Booth #18. 

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. 

 Mechanical variation is a reality of the manufacturing process and can be costly if not properly controlled. Sigmetrix focuses on helping their customers improve profitability by balancing the cost of poor product quality with the cost of manufacturing costs. This benefit can be achieved by:    

• Quickly iterating to find dimensional controls for desired quality.   

• Making cost-effective process decisions.  

• Determining impact and action for “out of spec” parts.  

• Assisting with sustaining engineering and cost reduction efforts.  

• Providing consistent data and understanding throughout the process.  

There is a lot of discussion in industry about  Model-Based Definition, Industry 4.0 and Digital Thread. Many companies are starting down the path toward a Model-Based Enterprise, but that path can be challenging. 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.  It is important that all requirements be tied directly to this comprehensive set of models to ensure traceability and usability. One set of requirements that is critical to the quality of any product is its dimensional requirements that are 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 

 “Sigmetrix helps companies manage their Mechanical Variation to make better products,” states Ed Walsh, Chief Revenue Officer. “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, products aren’t going to be up to standard.”  

Attendees will want to make sure to catch Ed Walsh, Chief Revenue Officer present “Using Model Based Definition and Mechanical Variation Modeling to Make Decisions and Stay Ahead of the Changing Market” on Wednesday December 4th at 12:05PM MT in Room 3.  

Make sure to also sign up for Ed’s “Lunch & Learn” session on Wednesday December 4th at 12:40PM MT!  

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 the 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.
