The model-based definition (MBD) approach, which involves associating dimensions, GD&T, and other specifications to the CAD model geometry, was born out of the need to define a single source of truth for all activities of a product’s lifecycle. We have extended the MBD capabilities of native CAD platforms by injecting traceability information and including the dimensional requirements from the Design, Manufacturing, and Production teams, enabling you to integrate your CAD platform within your 3D measurement processes.

Master Modern 3D Measurement Planning
Quality Control teams often receive dimensional requirements in the form of multiple documents from the Design and Manufacturing teams. They must translate and interpret each one to determine and create the geometry as well as dimensions to be measured within the 3D inspection software. This process is time-consuming and error-prone, and inefficient for managing design changes. Can model-based definition (MBD) be considered a starting point to address these shortcomings?
