PPAP (pronounced P-PAP) is a design & manufacturing inspection process used to verify a supplier's ability to reliably and repeatedly produce a part or set of parts for mass production.
For Boeing suppliers and sub-tier suppliers addressing Boeing Digital Product Definition (DPD) standards can be overwhelming.
Fortunately, Capvidia is a leader in Boeing DPD and is here to answer some of your important questions. Let's begin.
FAI is an official design inspection that verifies a manufacturing process that can reliably and repeatedly produce a part or set of parts for mass production.
STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Data) is a neutral-format 3D CAD file that is interoperable between different CAD programs such as SolidWorks, Creo PTC, Siemens NX, CATIA, Autodesk, and others.
Product manufacturing information (PMI) is essential engineering or manufacturing information embedded within a 3D CAD file. It is governed by ASME and ISO industry standards.
PMI may include the following information:

With over dozens of CAD software and an equal amount of CAD file types, importing & exporting the right format helps tremendously when it comes to data integrity and minimizing errors & rework.
This is especially true for downstream applications...
For Boeing suppliers, sub-tier suppliers, and other aerospace suppliers, meeting DPD (digital product definition) requirements can feel like jumping down one long rabbit hole, especially when dealing with a lack of definition information.
Well,...
