SOLIDWORKS MBD (Model-Based Definition) is an integrated drawingless manufacturing solution that enables you to define, organize, and publish 3D annotations, including dimensions, geometric tolerances, surface finishes, and more. It streamlines the communication of design and manufacturing data in a 3D environment, reducing errors and accelerating the production process.
Key Features
- 3D Annotations: Define and organize all necessary product and manufacturing information (PMI) directly in the 3D model.
- Automated Documentation: Automatically generate 3D PDFs and eDrawings, improving clarity and reducing the need for traditional 2D drawings.
- Compliance: Ensures compliance with industry standards such as ASME Y14.41 and ISO 16792.
- Integration with CAD: Seamlessly integrates with SOLIDWORKS CAD, allowing for a smooth transition from design to manufacturing.
Benefits
- Reduced Errors: Minimizes misinterpretations and errors by providing a single source of truth with 3D annotations.
- Increased Efficiency: Streamlines the documentation process, saving time and resources by reducing dependency on 2D drawings.
- Enhanced Collaboration: Facilitates better communication between design and manufacturing teams through 3D documentation.
- Improved Compliance: Ensures adherence to industry standards, enhancing quality and consistency.
Applications
SOLIDWORKS MBD is ideal for industries that require precise and clear communication of manufacturing information, including aerospace, automotive, consumer products, and industrial machinery. It is particularly beneficial for companies aiming to transition to a drawingless manufacturing environment.
