What is Model-Based Definition (MBD)?

▤ Summary

• Sharing the MBD model with manufacturers or downstream collaborators. Just like any time you use multiple software platforms, sharing 3D models can be difficult. Some CAD platforms use viewable tools (like Creo view) some use step files, and others use 3D PDFs. • Lacking the ability to use the model throughout the whole enterprise for things like BOM, change management, quality, data management and revisions. • Creating reusable components instead of rewriting them • Reducing errors during coding by using more precise specifications • Getting feedback from stakeholders earlier in the process so changes can be made before they become expensive • Improving team communication because everyone speaks “the same language.”
