The Roadmap Part III: Trust the Process. And the People.
Our Guide to the 3D Data Transition Race In Part III of our chat about the Action Engineering roadmap Rhiannon, Jennifer, and Duane dive into the key component to 3D transition success: Trust. Duane: There’s another aspect to that trust with the suppliers, which is intellectual property because the OEM is really concerned about how […]
The Roadmap Part II: Engaging the Supply Chain
Our Guide to the 3D Data Transition Race In Part II of our roadmap conversation Rhiannon, Jennifer, and Duane talk about the challenge of bringing 3D data to the supply chain. How does the roadmap relate to the supply chain? Jennifer: There is a huge groundswell of wanting to do this with the supply chain […]

Our Guide to the 3D Data Transition Race Rhiannon, Jennifer, and Duane sat down to talk about the evolution of the Action Engineering 3D Transformation Roadmap, how it came to be, and what we’ve learned along the way. Rhiannon: Jennifer, how did we get to this roadmap? Jennifer: As we’ve worked with companies over the […]
The Differences Between MBD, MBE, and MBSE
Author: Duane Hess I have encountered some confusion and misunderstanding around the difference between Model-Based Definition (MBD), Model-Based Enterprise (MBE), and Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) with people I meet. The first confusion point is that all three phrases contain “model.” I will dig into that first, and that should start to shed some light on […]
Model-Based Definition (MBD) and QIF
Model-Based Definition (MBD) at its core is machine readable annotations, data that’s associated to 3D geometry which is valuable both in manufacturing and in removing ambiguity from the communication of product definition. CNC programming and Manufacturing have been using 3D CAD Geometry for 30 plus years. QIF or Quality Information Framework is meant to address […]
Accelerate Your 3D Data Transition
Rhiannon Gallagher sat down with Dan Feighery to talk about how the CAD training and templates in OSCAR can accelerate your 3D data transition. People are trying to figure out how to create 3D data that is standards compliant, right? The ASME Y14.41 standard is the ASME MBD standard. That’s not the official name, but […]
