Best CAD Automation Strategies for Manufacturing and Aerospace Companies
Service: CAD Automation · Metric: Automation strategy with traceability suitable for aerospace audits
Problem narrative
Aerospace programs need traceable automation, not magic buttons Manufacturing needs DFM and tooling automation first
Strategy fails without a maintainable plugin architecture
What “good” looks like
Good means reproducible cases, honest uncertainty, and a UI that matches how your engineers already think — manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, or industrial language. Good also means a training path that a new hire can finish without inventing personal macros.
- Separate design automation from review automation
- Require validation cases for every automated geometry change
- Align automation roadmap with AS9100 / IATF quality culture
