Presentation NX MBD and DIPS: Digital Inspection Planning Strategies Measurement processes can add a significant amount of manufacturing process time, and there are a number of opportunities to make process improvements, particularly in inspection planning. Automatic inspection programming from Model-Based Definition (MBD) represents an attractive prospect for process improvement. MBD provides a traceable method of […]
Sheet Metal and MBD
Presentation Sheet Metal and MBD This presentation will focus on sheet metal and MBD challenges that are not present in conventional manufacturing. The straightforward process of moving from model to manufacturing for conventional production becomes skewed in the sheet metal process due to the “unfolding” of the model. Topics to be presented: PMI Placement Model […]

Using PMI & Color-Coding for Model-Based Inspection by Henk Jörg & Patrick Kerkhof
The Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) journey at TFH technical services started at NIST’s Model-Based Enterprise Summit in 2012. They’ve since implemented Model-Based Definition (MBD) for manufacturing of conveying systems for chicken slaughtery. Full production with zero drawings. TFH works together with Software Factory and B&W Software in Europe to investigate the latest practical methods for re-using […]
