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?
