The future is smart manufacturing.
In aerospace and defense, there’s no margin for error. Every part, every assembly, and every test has to meet the strictest quality and compliance standards. Yet, manufacturers are under pressure to deliver faster, adapt to shifting global supply chains, and embrace sustainability, without sacrificing reliability.
That’s why leading aerospace and defense manufacturers are turning to Siemens Digital Industries Software to transform how they design, build, and validate mission-critical products.
Why Siemens? Because smart manufacturing isn’t optional.
Smart manufacturing connects the dots between design, machining, and quality. Siemens solutions like NX CAM and Teamcenter Quality help aerospace and defense organizations:
- Ensure compliance by design: Capture requirements, trace decisions, and align with global regulations.
- Boost machining precision: NX CAM enables advanced multi-axis machining for complex aerospace components with fewer errors and less rework.
- Close the loop on quality: With Teamcenter Quality, every step of the production process feeds real-time insights back into the digital thread.
- Accelerate readiness: From prototypes to fleet sustainment, digital twins help teams test, validate, and deploy with confidence.
A real-world example
A leading defense contractor used Siemens NX CAM to optimize machining for titanium components. By integrating CAM programming directly with digital twins, they reduced setup time by 40% and achieved first-pass yield improvements. Combined with Teamcenter Quality, inspection data was captured seamlessly, cutting audit prep time by weeks.
The bottom line
Aerospace and defense manufacturing is about more than producing part, it’s about ensuring mission success. With Siemens NX CAM and Teamcenter Quality, organizations gain the precision, traceability, and agility needed to stay ahead.
