Just as the move from 2D design tools to 3D CAD solutions revolutionized product development, the emergence of 3D model-based definition (MBD) integrated manufacturing technology offers substantial productivity advantages over the use of traditional 2D engineering drawings to drive manufacturing
3D can revolutionize manufacturing in much the same way as it has advanced product design. Ignoring this potential for 3D in manufacturing is like using a smartphone just for telephone calls or using the web just to send and receive email messages. MBD will help you unleash the manufacturing potential of 3D by more efficiently, accurately, and cost-effectively integrating PMI into 3D models to help communicate the design intention traditionally through 2D drawings.
