The Challenge
A leading aerospace OEM faced major challenge in fastener design. Several OEM specific attributes were missing in the fastener library. So, designers had to manually create the fastener with specific attributes. This manual design process slowed the product development, increased costs, delayed timelines, and weakened competitiveness in a fast-paced industry.
Our Solution
Goken used its aerospace engineering know-how and CAD customization expertise to deliver a custom fastener design automation solution. Using CATIA and Component Application Architecture (CAA), we built EKL libraries with a full set of fastener creation methods. These were integrated into the OEM’s design system, enabling fast, accurate, and consistent fastener designs that met all requirements and improved overall engineering efficiency.
The Impact
By removing manual steps, Goken’s solution streamlined fastener design and saved the OEM millions in development costs. Time-to-market was cut by 30%, helping the client stay competitive in the aerospace and defense industry.
