Aerospace
Aerospace teams work under strict traceability, material justification, and approval constraints before any manufacturing route can move beyond review. D2M supports application assessment, technology route selection, workflow design, documentation planning, and training for aerospace manufacturing and maintenance contexts.
Application Suitability
Candidate applications are reviewed against operating conditions, material requirements, inspection needs, and commercial constraints.
Workflow Definition
The equipment, software, material route, records, and approval points are mapped before implementation decisions are made.
Implementation Planning
Training, documentation, governance, and handover requirements are defined so the capability can be managed by internal teams.
Industry Overview
