The Future of Digital Manufacturing Starts with Model-Based Definition (MBD): Enrico Boesso of EnginSoft Face to Face with Daniel Campbell of Capvidia
Futurities Year 21 n°4
By Enrico Boesso | EnginSoft
In a recent interview, Enrico Boesso (EnginSoft) and Daniel Campbell (Capvidia) discussed how Model-Based Definition (MBD) is transforming manufacturing by replacing traditional 2D drawings with data-rich 3D models as the "single source of truth".
The key takeaways consist in the definition of MBD (since MBD embeds all design data—dimensions, tolerances, materials—directly into a 3D model, streamlining workflows and enabling machine-readability for automation), the benefits in adopting MBD approach, as well as the related challenges.
Just like the Internet revolutionized business, MBD is driving digital transformation in manufacturing. It’s not just disruptive—it’s essential for staying competitive in the era of AI, automation, and data-driven processes.
The future of manufacturing is here. Are you ready to embrace it?

CASE STUDY
Performing flow simulations to investigate the complex loss mechanisms caused by the interaction of the rotating oil ring within a piston in the inside of the roll of a calender, which is an important device of a paper machine. Hereby, the trends of the churning losses are determined for design improvement conducted by Voith Paper R&D.
