DEMA Selects VISTAGY's FiberSIMR Software for Composites Design on Major Commercial Airliner Program
WALTHAM, Mass., (USA), February 21, 2007 - VISTAGY, Inc., a leading global provider of specialized engineering software, today announced that Italian aerospace manufacturer DEMA Group has selected its FiberSIMŽ composites software for the design and manufacture of complex, highly-engineered composite parts for the development of new commercial airliners.
DEMA Group manufactures components and assemblies for commercial and military aircraft, helicopters and space vehicles. The company has engaged in extensive research of composites design and manufacturing methodologies, and supplies large, complex composite parts to organizations involved in the development and assembly of commercial aircraft. DEMA selected VISTAGY's FiberSIM suite of software, powered by EnCaptaŽ technology, to help its engineers more efficiently create complete 3D digital model-based definitions of composite parts in order to limit the use of 2D drawings and manual processes.
For the first time, DEMA engineers can capture all detailed, non-geometric design information directly in a CAD software model and share this detail electronically across the supply chain-eliminating the need for manually creating paper documentation or reports. As a result, DEMA expects to greatly reduce development cycle times and design costs while quickening "time-to-part" in order to meet demanding delivery timeframes.
"We have been entrusted with the privilege of supplying key composite parts to major commercial airliner partners, and we are utilizing our years of composites experience to develop quality products faster and more efficiently," said Giuseppe Ombra, engineering vice president at DEMA. "Not only will FiberSIM software help us design these aerospace products more effectively, but we expect to realize a much greater level of information-sharing and collaboration between engineering teams to identify design problems earlier, make changes quicker, and ensure manufacturing accuracy and part quality."
