BRM AERO: 3DEXPERIENCE Platform for Light Sport Aircraft Design
Case study shows how BRM AERO uses Dassault Systemes 3DEXPERIENCE and Engineered to Fly on cloud for 3D design, sheet metal engineering, and product data management in ultralight aircraft manufacturing.
BRM AERO, a Czech light sport aircraft manufacturer, implemented the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and Engineered to Fly solution on the cloud to improve design precision, manage part lifecycles, and reduce IT overhead. The platform supports sheet metal design, real-time design changes, weight optimization, and integration with ERP for part traceability. Benefits include faster customer response, lower infrastructure costs, and improved manufacturing accuracy through digital continuity from engineering to production.
Cloud deployment eliminated hardware investment and IT maintenance for a 70-employee manufacturer
Sheet Metal Engineering enabled 3D-to-flat pattern design with 4700 rivet positioning for first-time assembly fit
Real-time design updates and customer visualization reduced response time for custom aircraft configurations
Part lifecycle management linked versioning, materials, costs, and suppliers to ERP for full traceability
Weight and material variables calculated automatically in 3D to optimize ultralight aircraft performance
