Futurities Year 21 n°3, Autumn 2024

The text discusses the ongoing evolution of digital workflows in manufacturing, emphasizing the shift from traditional 2D drawings to model-based workflows (MBW) in aerospace and automotive industries. Model-based workflows integrate all necessary manufacturing information directly into CAD models, eliminating the need for error-prone manual data transfers.

Capvidia offers software solutions like MBDVidia and CompareVidia that facilitate the adoption of MBW, automate inspections, and manage CAD revisions.

The text concludes by highlighting that leveraging AI and big data will enable manufacturing leaders to gain competitive advantages through improved speed, cost efficiency, and quality.

CASE STUDY

Model-based characteristics: the missing link in dimensional management

Dimensional management in modern manufacturing demands more than just accurate geometric tolerances—it requires data consistency, traceability, and automation across the entire product lifecycle. Traditional practices like annotated PDFs and Excel-based inspection plans introduce risk and inefficiency by detaching product and manufacturing information (PMI) from the 3D model. Siemens’ NX Inspector addresses this challenge through the introduction of Model-Based Characteristics (MBC)—standards-compliant, machine-readable data objects that convert each PMI requirement into a uniquely identified, traceable element within the CAD environment.
