BAE Systems Composite Structures Selects FiberSIM Software to Design Aircraft Parts

BAE Systems Composite Structures Inc has purchased VISTAGY Inc's FiberSIM software to design and manufacture parts for commercial aircraft programmes. BAE Systems Composite Structures has worked with VISTAGY for over a decade. It has used FiberSIM on programmes for Rolls Royce, Bell Helicopter, and Raytheon.

BAE Systems Composite Structures uses FiberSIM to compress product development cycle times and reduce costs by eliminating the laborious processes for manually developing plies, creating templates, and digitizing flat patterns. Further, FiberSIM-driven, state-of-the-art manufacturing processes enable BAE Systems Composite Structures to reduce layup time and improve repeatability.

"The aerospace industry is very deadline-driven and FiberSIM helps us meet deadlines in a variety of ways," said Tim Stewart, manager of Manufacturing Engineering for U.S. Combat Systems at BAE Systems Composite Structures. "BAE Systems Composite Structures works on a number of cutting edge aircraft so we appreciate the opportunity to work with them," said John O’Connor, director of product and market strategy for VISTAGY.
