A case study on how Model-Based Definition (MBD) was the missing link to maximizing the ROI of a digital quality initiative. November 17, 2021 - 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… READ MORE →
Why MBD and GD&T Go Together November 17, 2021 - If you are looking at Model-Based Definition (MBD), you must also consider Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and how your organization will incorporate it. What is MBD? It is a 3D-based method of documenting your engineering requirements using annotations on your CAD instead of documenting via drawings. We recommend the annotations be semantic (digitally associated with the geometric features they represent). What is GD&T? It is a set of symbology representing the mathematical definition that identifies the allowable variations of the actual… READ MORE →Podcasts & Webinars
