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 […]
A case study on how Model-Based Definition (MBD) was the missing link to maximizing the ROI of a digital quality initiative.
Ever been involved in a Model-Based Definition (MBD) project? If so, you likely know how difficult it is to convince people they no longer need their drawings. After all, drawings are ambiguous, and models are rich in data and navigable in 3-Dimensional (3D) space. So, do a quick internet search for MBD. You will undoubtedly find online debates on the proper use of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), like Do we need […]
ZEISS and MBD: Reducing measurement planning time by 75%
Learn the digital workflow for CMM and X-Ray systems using Creo MBD, QIF and MBDVidia Model-Based Definition (MBD) is 3D CAD data that is digitally authored to be used automatically by manufacturing and quality engineers and planners to speed up fabrication and inspection. Jennifer Herron, CEO of Action Engineering, the leading consulting firm for enabling MBD transformations, […]
6 Ways Moving to Model-Based Can Improve Your Automotive Parts Processes
The adoption of Model-Based Definition supports efficiency on both the factory floor and in the front office. We know change is challenging and can be slow. We also know the overall positive impact that MBD will have on the future of manufacturing. For this blog, we sat down and interviewed CEO, Jennifer Herron where we […]
Maximizing Your MBE Budget
The Importance of Planning Now Budgeting to make sure your MBE efforts are on the corporate radar is an important step in the planning process. Today, Michelle Nordwald, COO at Action Engineering, explains key points of this process and how companies can both streamline and strategize their proposals as well as their contracting process. Do people come […]
3D CIC: Home Edition – CAD Hackathon with Sigmetrix
Join us for a 3D CIC: Home Edition virtual event on January 20, 2021, with a little friendly competition! Enter your best show of tolerancing for a chance to win prizes up to $100. We all like to think we can tolerance our parts in accordance with ASME Y14.5, but the tolerancing game isn’t always […]
CAD Interoperability and the OSCAR CAD Toolkit
In most cases, a “Model-Based Enterprise” is going to include multiple CAD platforms. You could be a large corporation that uses multiple CAD applications or a smaller company that only uses one but has suppliers that use other CAD platforms. This reality means CAD interoperability challenges cannot be ignored. While each CAD system has strengths and weaknesses, the big five are capable of: modeling geometry, creating 3D annotations, defining attributes (metadata), and creating “presentation states.” We […]
