Model Based Definition: Embrace More Efficient Processes for a Competitive Advantage
Level Up Your Processes with MBD
Your organization can realize significant benefits by harnessing the power of Model-Based Definition, or MBD, in its product development process. MBD uses 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) models as the primary source of information for design, production, and quality.
MBD improves product quality, lowers cost, and reduces time-to-market by speeding up the engineering-manufacturing-inspection cycle and eliminating errors. That’s why MBD has been a consistently growing trend in product development. In a letter to shareholders, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos shared his philosophy on powerful trends: “If you fight them, you’re probably fighting the future. Embrace them and you have a tailwind”.

INDEX
MBD is an annotated model and its associated data that define the product in a manner that can be used effectively without a drawing graphic sheet.
Often, companies do not want to send their original CAD models with MBD to external suppliers. To protect their intellectual property, they can export the native CAD files to a CAD-neutral format that supports MBD, like STEP AP242.
Creo has supported MBD with every basic license for years
