ENABLE DRAWINGLESS OPERATIONS WITH MODEL-BASED DESIGN STREAMLINE YOUR OPERATIONS How much time, money, and resources do you spend in creating and maintaining traditional 2D drawings? What are the typical problems you face? As 3D design becomes more prevalent, the limitations of traditional 2D drawings become more apparent—expensive and time-consuming to create and maintain; prone to mismatch with the 3D model (leading to massive production waste); not compliant with widely accepted and mandated industry standards. SOLIDWORKS® MBD (Model Based Definition) is an integrated drawingless manufacturing solution for SOLIDWORKS 3D design software. With SOLIDWORKS MBD, you can communicate product and manufacturing information (PMI) directly in 3D, bypassing time-consuming 2D processes, and eliminating potential problems. Companies embracing model-based definition methodologies report savings in multiple areas, including reductions in manufacturing errors, decrease in scrap and rework costs, and lower procurement costs for purchased parts1. 1Source: Defense Logistics Agency

DRAWINGLESS OPERATION TO STREAMLINE AND ACCELERATE PRODUCTION SOLIDWORKS MBD helps companies dene, organize, and publish 3D PMI, including 3D model data in industry-standard le formats (such as SOLIDWORKS les, eDrawings®, and 3D PDF). It guides the manufacturing process directly in 3D, helping to streamline production, cut cycle time, reduce errors, and comply with industry standards, such as MilitaryStandard-31000A, ASME Y 14.41, ISO 16792, DIN ISO 16792, and GB/T 24734. SOLIDWORKS MBD sets data such as product models, dimensions, geometric tolerances, surface nishes, welding symbols, bill...

Output and distribute 3D data to an existing process Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders SOLIDWORKS MBD publishes widely accepted le formats, such as eDrawings® and 3D PDF les that are often used in existing processes. eDrawings les can be opened in a free eDrawings Viewer. 3D PDF can be viewed using a variety of free tools including Adobe™ Reader. In addition to providing associative information such as engineering notes, BOM, and rich Meta properties, you can also explore the model in 3D with Pan, Zoom, Rotate, Measure, Section, and other 3D tools.
