Get the Best of Both Worlds with Manufacturing Definition Creator
When computer-aided design (CAD) came out in the 90’s, it really rocked the design and manufacturing world. And while 2D drawings have taken a downward trend, since the advent of CAD, computer-aided machining (CAM), and other digital solution advancements, drawings are still in the picture 30 years later.
To this day, when it comes to defining a product, many firms struggle to decide between model-based or drawing-based communication. With the rise in digital engineering and manufacturing, model-based definition (MBD) has really gained traction in the last five to 10 years. It entails a 3D annotated CAD model that can be used in place of a traditional drawing for manufacturing. However, there are often many cases where drawings are still required in today’s digital world which results in rework and lost time.
