Enterprise 3D Printing: All About That Communication
I recently co-authored “Towards Annotations and Product Definitions for Additive Manufacturing” with Dr. Paul Witherell and Dr. Gaurav Ameta. The title sounds official, as it should for a published paper, but perhaps, between you and me, we could give it a lighter name: All About That Communication. Cue Meghan Trainor. Forms of the word “communicate” appear 43 times in the paper! Yes, […]
Honey Bee Manufacturing's MBE Journey by Joel Seerey
Harvesting the Grains of an MBE Journey You’ll hear us use the word “journey” when we talk about Model-Based Enterprise (MBE). It’s a process that doesn’t happen overnight, and one that necessitates a shift in culture within the company. The MBE journey at Honey Bee Manufacturing Ltd. is one such example. Their MBE journey for […]

Understanding the Hard Work of MBE
Creating a Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) with Model-Based Engineering (also MBE) is no small task. When executed well, there is clearly a tangible benefit for small and large companies as well as government organizations. By the way, there are at least three independent definitions for the three-letter-acronym (TLA) of MBE; here is my take on each […]
