Unlocking Enterprise Efficiency with MBD, MBC, and QIF

This article is a transcription of Elysium’s presentation at the PTC/USER Global Summit 2026 (Las Vegas, April 27–30, 2026). It highlights how MBD, Model-Based Characteristics, and QIF improve digital thread traceability and downstream workflows, featuring Elysium’s 3D-SUITE for MBD validation and quality assurance. Watch the Presentation Video. Introduction This presentation explores how model-based definition, model-based characteristics,…

DFA Automation: Strengthening Quality and Efficiency in the Model-Based Enterprise

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…

Foundation of Manufacturing DX: MBD Model Distribution, 3D Data Translation and Automated Design Quality Check-Part 2

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…

Foundation of Manufacturing DX: MBD Model Distribution, 3D Data Translation and Automated Design Quality Check-Part 1

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…
