Industry Collaboration

AIA partners with S&P Global and CADENAS PARTsolutions to offer authorized 3D computer-aided design (CAD) models of components based on National Aerospace Standards (NAS), providing a valuable tool for engineers across the aerospace and defense industry to accelerate innovation, shorten design cycles, reduce costs, and engineer smarter. The NAS 3D CAD model library is available as an annual subscription through S&P Global. For more information, go to the S&P Global site here. Key benefits include:

  • Reduced modeling and design cycle times;
  • Improved engineering productivity;
  • Elimination of duplicated effort and rework;
  • Assurance of quality through the use of authorized CAD models;
  • Increased consistency in parts used on projects; and
  • Greater accuracy in bills of materials.
