Abstract
The need for optimization of the product manufacturing cycle and data management resulted in the creation of the model-based definition technology. The beneficial impact in most processes (CAD, CAE, CAPP, CAM, etc.) of a product manufacturing cycle, made the MBD technology implemented in various industries. The following paper has the purpose of highlighting the benefits and limitations of the current MBD capabilities and makes its impact on the industrial collaboration known by summarizing the communication file formats, which support this technology. Special interest is attributed to lightweight collaboration files, especially 3D PDFs, which are capable to deliver information and data to the domains of a company inside or outside of the manufacturing cycle and support all the necessary downstream activities of the product.
Highlights
It has always been industry's intention to create economical, accurate, reliable, and timesaving methods of distributing product data across its sub-branches such as design, manufacturing, managing departments, etc
This paper divulges the impact of model-based definition (MBD) technology in industrial collaboration and product data management (PDM), based on the interoperability of the existed exchange information formats
Hartman et al proposed a framework for the evaluation of different collaborative MBD product representations based on four different data formats [5]. This framework includes the necessary criteria of the workflows, which included in a product life cycle insight a Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) [7]
Summary
It has always been industry's intention to create economical, accurate, reliable, and timesaving methods of distributing product data across its sub-branches such as design, manufacturing, managing departments, etc. Its impact on data distribution and minimization of the necessity for supplementary documents is not exactly spot on. A very promising candidate emerges in the name of model-based definition (MBD). The resourceful idea of implementing all the important information on a 3D model without the infringement of the principles of mechanical design has positive effects on the product's life-cycle management (PLM) and especially in the manufacturing processes [2]. This paper divulges the impact of MBD technology in industrial collaboration and product data management (PDM), based on the interoperability of the existed exchange information formats
