Here at the US ARMY, National Automotive Center, we have a program called N-STEP which is investigating the use of STEP, ISO 10303 in moving from design into manufacturing. By including product data in STEP format in our technical data packages suppliers having STEP a enabled manufacturing process can save time and money in the manufacturing process making them more competitive. We would like to know how broad the use of STEP is in industry and would appreciate comments from those using STEP.
