What is Model-based definition (MBD)?

MBD is the practice of using intelligent 3D CAD models, not just drawings, as the complete source of information for designing, manufacturing, and inspecting products.

  • 3D Geometry

    The core shape of the product.

  • p

    PMI

    Product Manufacturing Information (tolerances, finishes, material specs, etc.) directly embedded in the model.

  • Standards-Based Approach

    Adherence to ASME Y14.41 or ISO 16792 for clear communication.

The Tangible Benefits of MBD

Reduced Errors and Rework

 Eliminate misinterpretations of drawings, leading to fewer downstream manufacturing issues..

Increased Collaboration

Every team works from the same up-to-date data, reducing miscommunication.

Improved Automation

MBD data can directly drive CNC machines, CMMs, and other manufacturing equipment.

Faster Time-To-Market

Information flows seamlessly from design to manufacturing, cutting production lead times.

Enhanced Design Clarity

3D visualization and embedded PMI make complex information easy to understand.

Up to 30% Savings in development

By reducing errors and streamlining the design-to-production process, MBD can save you millions in development costs.
