STEP is being used to support the F-16, F-22, Joint Strike Fighter, F-2 and KTX-2 programs at Lockheed Martin
Lockheed Martin is pioneering the STEP standard with smaller suppliers
STEP has realized significant savings and process improvements
- Within engineering design, STEP pilots showed a 10% improvement in reliability of data exchange, 10% process savings for non-composite parts, and 50% process savings for composites
- For manufacturing, projected savings for tool design on CAD/CAM systems is 27% and 38% for NC CAM systems due to elimination of data re-entry
