| Model-Based
Definition (MBD) incorporates extensive product information beyond
shape, including dimensions, GD&T, and annotations into the 3D
model. Communicating complete and accurate product data between product
stakeholders is critical. Adopting MBD allows companies to centralize
all necessary product information in one 3D database, and also
eliminates the task of generating 2D drawings. MBD can be leveraged,
not only across engineering domains, but on the manufacturing floor and
in corporate marketing, sales, and services organizations. |
