Jennifer Herron, principal of Action Engineering, will lead a two-day immersive technical training course April 26-27, 2016 pertinent to the digital enterprises of mechanical and systems engineers in the Aerospace, Defense, Automotive, Medical, and other Product Development industries. Please thank our host CADENAS PARTSolutions. Workshop: Enabling Your Digital Enterprise Topics (half-day each): • MBE Overview […]
Using CAD Models in the Digital Thread
We see in 3D, We Should Document in 3D We are operating at a stage in design and manufacturing where 3D models are used for direct tooling, or used to generate injection molds, but still need to be supplemented by 2D drawings for PMI (dimensions, tolerances and notes). In addition to creating extra work, 2D […]
STOP! Collaborate and Listen – MBE Workshop on CAD
It is time to stop worrying about what you can not do with your CAD models and focus on what you can do with them. Many times, you are the CAD Super User trying to make your job and everyone’s more efficient. However, don’t go it alone. Integrating, Interoperating and Collaborating with CAD comes in […]
What and How of Direct Digital Manufacturing (DDM)
Realizing this is the 3rd post in a row on 3D Printing and it’s uses, I do apologize. But I can’t help but get excited about how excited everyone else is exited about 3D Printing. The juices are flowing (NASA Uses 3D Printing to Build a New Breed of Aircraft), technology is improving (Stratasys & […]
Semantic PMI Defined: Product Manufacturing Information
PMI is Product Manufacturing Information. In ASME Y14.41 language this means the annotations and attributes contained in a 3D solid model that compliment the geometric definition and complete the digital data set. PMI is a critical data component of a 3D solid model that enables Model-Based Engineering (MBE). The process and artifact of applying PMI […]
