The client’s goals were to deploy Teamcenter as a controlled, proof-of-concept system to manage CAM workflows and key NX data, implement support of thermal protection system (TPS) design and manufacturing, including integration with Haas machines, and unlock the capability to expand document management maturity over time, especially for specification and verification files.

Applied CAx rebuilt the company’s Teamcenter environment into a lean proof-of-concept instance within months, enabled core NX CAM workflows for TPS tile machining, and delivered custom release workflows to streamline design iteration and production handoff.

In just a few months, the Applied CAx team rebuilt the company’s Teamcenter environment into a lean proof-of-concept instance tailored to the company’s needs. The implementation focused exclusively on NX, bypassing SolidWorks data management to streamline operations. Core NX CAM workflows were enabled to support TPS tile machining, ensuring precision and efficiency in manufacturing. Additionally, custom release workflows were developed to accelerate design iteration and improve handoff of production, enhancing overall agility and throughput.

This project had a major impact by turning around a failed PLM deployment and delivering a stable, functional Teamcenter environment.

Our engineering services team provided training, CAM automation, and NX support tailored to the company’s specific aerospace needs. Most importantly, the project established a solid foundation for future digital thread integration across mechanical and electrical domains, enabling long-term innovation and collaboration.
