Collaborative Design and Engineering for Manufacturing
Enhance collaboration throughout the organization with a single source of truth.
In today's rapidly evolving manufacturing landscape, engineers are expected to develop more complex products in less time. To get ahead, an efficient digital continuity strategy is key. The 3D master process, rooted in model-based definition (MBD), serves as a pivotal bridge between design and manufacturing phases.
By embracing a model-based definition approach, companies can establish a seamless flow of 3D information from design to production and facilitate multidisciplinary collaboration. All design modifications are swiftly and accurately communicated to manufacturing, shortening time to market and mitigating the risk of errors and discrepancies.
Tangible Benefits for Manufacturers
By pivoting to model-based initiatives to drive design, manufacturing, procurement, quality, and service, manufacturers are already seeing benefits in terms of time, tasks, and resources.
Accelerate innovation
Reduce engineers’ documentation burden and free up time to engage in value-added tasks.
Enable concurrent engineering
Enhance collaboration across the enterprise with access to product models to increase understanding of product specifications.
Mitigate risk
Reduced documentation-related errors and ensure compliance with accurate data and increased traceability throughout design and production.
Maximize return on investment
Speed up production and better support manufacturing, quality assurance, procurement, and service needs without compromising deadlines, quality or cost by reusing product data.
Why model-based definition?
Model-based definition represents a significant step forward in engineering collaboration, offering tangible benefits in terms of efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration. By adopting MBD, engineering teams can streamline their processes and unlock new levels of productivity.
Efficient Workflow
By removing the need for separate drawings, MBD streamlines the engineering workflow, reducing redundant tasks and minimizing the likelihood of errors.
Single Source of Information
With product and manufacturing information integrated into the 3D model, all stakeholders have access to a clear, unambiguous source of information. This ensures consistency and accuracy throughout the production process.
Better collaboration
MBD fosters collaboration among engineering teams by providing a common 3D model for reference. This promotes better communication and alignment across all project phases.
Digitize all product engineering data with a model-based definition approach
Today, most engineers rely on a series of 2D drawings as the foundation for product design and development. Such drawings are quite time-intensive: Engineers report spending between 20 and 60% of their work time to create these vital deliverables
Maximizing Efficiency with Model-Based Definition
Startups and small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face numerous development challenges such as shorter project timelines and increasing product complexity. Learn how leveraging a model-based approach can empower them to streamline collaboration, improve traceability, increase product quality and accelerate time to market.
