Model Based Enterprise (MBE) and MBD are fundamentally changing how we do business. As we embark on this epic journey, there’s a need to collaborate and be connected to the stakeholders on these 4 things- Developing company's MBE Strategy & Roadmap Getting feedback from select downstream individuals during the strategy phase (Ex: from key Design/Inspection/...

If you’re an engineer or designer, you’ve probably already heard about model-based definition (MBD), the practice of adding non-geometric engineering information to a 3D model. (Traditionally, that data is added to a 2D drawing.) Intuitively, it makes sense to keep everything in one place. But are the benefits worth the effort of changing the way... Continue Reading →
Some say that model-based definition (MBD), the practice of adding engineering information to a 3D model, can help improve productivity and quality, while also reducing costs. On the surface, that’s something every organization, engineering manager, and design engineer wants, of course. But, is MBD still “faster, better and cheaper” if your team’s productivity suffers as... Continue Reading →
In recent weeks, Madhavi Ramesh@Punditas, has been talking to industry experts about model-based definition (MBD) in product design and development. How do these experts define MBD? Who needs it? How can companies get started using it? In this week’s post, she talks to Raphael Nascimento, a product manager who was key in developing model-based definition... Continue Reading →
MBD is based on Y14.41-2003 Digital Product Definition Data Practices that establishes standards and requirements for tolerances, dimensional data, and other digital design annotations on 3D solid models. Combination States are important in the MBD context as they facilitate the presentation of model and the related annotations. Combination States in Creo Parametric In Creo Parametric,...

The momentum is building for Model-Based Definition (MBD). Get ready now. MBD is a process which results in a 3D CAD model that is the complete product definition. All the information about your product lives in a fully-detailed, documented 3D model accessible to everyone from engineering to package design. Sounds good, but what does it... Continue Reading →
In a drawing centric world, the non-geometric attributes (GD&T) that are required to manufacture the products, such as dimensions, tolerances, datums, etc., are on the 2D Drawing. However, in an MBD world this non-geometric information, that is critical for downstream Manufacturing and Inspection processes, must be contained within the model in a clear and un-ambiguous...

In this e-book, Madhavi Ramesh from Punditas explains how reusing rich 3D models can help you manage complexity, maximize customer value and move ahead of the pack Model-Based Definition (MBD) is a prerequisite for achieving Model-Based Enterprise, but the realities of implementing MBD have traditionally been fraught with challenges. Today, many of the hurdles that... Continue Reading →
