Mechanical and product design
Learn sketching, feature creation, model editing, and structured design intent.
Aerospace CATIA training
Prepare for CATIA 3DExperience (3DX) environments used in aerospace design and manufacturing.
Build the CATIA 3DExperience (3DX) navigation and workflow confidence needed for aerospace design, manufacturing, tooling, inspection, and supplier environments.
Model Based Definition
Aerospace manufacturing now depends on 3D CATIA data.
Boeing, Northrop, and Gulfstream have switched to Model Based Definition 3D CATIA datasets to define parts and assemblies instead of traditional blueprints. Almost all manufacturing positions at these companies require CATIA basic operation and navigation to be able to view the data to do your job. Bell Helicopters currently is using CATIA 3DX for new Helicopter Projects, Boeing has 10 departments using it. Learning 3DX now will put you ahead of the curve when they fully implement it company wide.
- Navigate CATIA 3DExperience (3DX) models and assemblies with confidence.
- Understand where product, part, feature, and annotation data lives.
- Build the basic operation skills needed before working with MBD datasets.
For students pursuing aerospace roles
CATIA 3DExperience (3DX) familiarity is useful far beyond design engineering. Many aerospace manufacturing and supplier roles require employees to open, view, rotate, inspect, and understand 3D CATIA data.
Tooling and production support
Build familiarity with part geometry, assemblies, and the model data used across manufacturing teams.
Aerospace supply chain
Use CATIA 3DExperience (3DX) skills for design and manufacturing work connected to Boeing, Lockheed, Gulfstream, Northrop Grumman, Airbus, Bombardier, and their suppliers.
Fundamentals
A strong foundation for specialized aerospace roles
The CATIA 3DExperience (3DX) Fundamentals class is the ideal basic training for other aerospace roles using CATIA 3DExperience (3DX), including tool design, composites, NC programming, inspection, electrical wire bundle design, interiors design, environmental control systems, and flight controls, to name a few.
CATIA skills aerospace employers expect beginners to know
- Rotate, pan, zoom, and inspect 3D parts and assemblies.
- Navigate product structure, part features, and the specification tree.
- Understand the difference between sketches, features, bodies, parts, and products.
- Open guided modules repeatedly to build CATIA 3DExperience (3DX) muscle memory.
- Prepare for college labs, employer workstations, and supplier environments.
