MBD/MBE Are Becoming the New Standard in Manufacturing Model-Based Definition (MBD) and Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) place the 3D model at the center of development. Unlike traditional processes—where information flows via documents and physical artifacts—MBD/MBE use 3D digital data for design, analysis, and verification to dramatically improve efficiency, quality, and traceability. Over the past decade, Elysium…
In the era of Model-Based Definition (MBD), Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI) isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s the lifeblood of a truly connected Model-Based Enterprise (MBE). But PMI is only valuable if it’s accurate, compliant, and complete, both for human interpretation and for machine-readable automation. A single inconsistency can lead to costly rework, production delays,…
The Value of Front-Loading and Design Rule Checks To minimize costly rework in downstream processes, designers often invest significant effort into Design Rule Checks (DRCs)—a practice known as front-loading. One vital category of these checks ensures that the designed geometry is suitable for subsequent production steps. This approach is a key component of what’s broadly…
Executive Summary Recent breakthroughs in 3D modeling—particularly the integration of laser scanning and point cloud data processing—have redefined how Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) simulations are approached. With solutions like Elysium’s InfiPoints, engineers can now bypass time-consuming model recreation workflows by directly converting real-world scans into CAE-ready models. This white paper outlines the “Scan to CAE” methodology,…
Following our previous announcement—“InfiPoints Standard Package Now Includes BIM/CAD Export To Enhance Scan-to-BIM Workflows – InfiPoints May 2025 Update – 1”—we’re excited to unveil the second major enhancement in the InfiPoints May 2025 Update. This release introduces two powerful new features designed to dramatically improve how engineers work with massive point cloud datasets: automatic segmentation…
Unlock Greater Efficiency in Scan-to-BIM Workflows Elysium is excited to announce an update to InfiPoints, our cutting-edge point cloud processing solution. With the upcoming May 2025 release, we are restructuring the InfiPoints Standard Package to include BIM export functions—previously available as paid options. This update aligns with our commitment to streamlining engineering workflows and making…
4. Essential to Successful MBD Model Distribution – Part 2: Data Quality 4.1 Simple Translation is Not The End So far, we have explained the technology difficulty and importance of accurately translating 3D data into different formats. However, simply transferring information from left to right does not ensure the smooth distribution of MBD models. What…
1. Pitfalls of Digitalization in Manufacturing Decades have passed since 3D CAD software was introduced into the workflow of design departments in many manufacturing firms. Unlike the previous methods that relied on specialized knowledge and experience to envision 3D objects based on 2D drawings, it is currently natural for anyone to subconsciously grasp the final…
