Are you using SOLIDWORKS MBD yet?
SOLIDWORKS: MODEL BASE DEFINITION (MBD)
Did you know that “1/3 of engineering dollars are spent on 2D drawings. Yet 60% of them don’t match 3D models.”
If there were a way that you could save time and money, at the same time, increasing productivity – You would want to take advantage of that, right?
WHAT DO OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT SOLIDWORKS MBD?
Industrial Designer: “For molded products, SOLIDWORKD MBD is the future.”
Engineer: “Great tool, especially when vendors use 3D for creating tooling fixtures, etc.”
Engineer: “I’d love to us 3D MBD. Making 2D drawings is a real time waster.”
Mechanical Engineer: “3D Views allow users to create the first view as an ITAR statement, which puts SOLIDWORKS in compliance with MIL-STD-31000.”
Supplier: “Easy to understand the model at a glance!”
Supplier: “…identifying issues with drawing clarification and offering a solution that could increase efficiency on our end is huge. The ability to have a single container that holds all the part information can be a real-world time saver.”
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT SOLIDWORKS MBD!
Reusing existing data from a Sketch or feature.
Capturing 3D views are easy, very low learning curve (like creating a Display State).
Conveying precise communication between engineers, manufacturing, customers, suppliers and purchasing by creating Edrawing or PDF file.
YOU CAN BENEFIT FROM USING SOLIDWORKS MBD BY:
Eliminate 2D drawing creation (cutting engineering lead-time).
Streamlining production (allowing you to cut cycle time AND reduces errors).
Not only will you comply with industry standards, but MIL-STD-31000.
Increasing downstream clarity and saving money is key.
Become aware of SOLIDWORKS MBD… it is the future!
