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…
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…
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…
