The industry has accomplished this via the widespread implementation of Model Based Definition (MBD), particularly by OEMs and their First-Tier suppliers.  \nThe use of a single authoritative digital source of part information has numerous systemic benefits, including:  \n• Eliminating errors that result from referencing an incorrect source.  \n• Making processes more efficient—no more searching to determine correct revision levels.  \n• Eliminating outdated drawings floating around the manufacturing floor.  \n• Eliminating discrepancies between the CAD model and 2D documentation.  \nLeveraging modelbased definition for quality assurance.  \nUsing MBD for inspection speeds up the process and improves the surface quality of this commercial aircraft composite wing tool.  \nMDB is having a particularly beneficial effect on quality, where Model Based Inspection (MBI) is being implemented to provide faster and substantially more actionable information about the condition of parts and their manufacturing processes. MBI is allowing measurement tools and analyses to be more tightly integrated with every phase of manufacturing from design to final assembly. This not only  \nDavid Olson  \nVerisurf Software, Inc. Anaheim, CA  \nserves to produce better manufacturing outcomes, it also saves MBI users a great deal of time and money.  \nOrigins of MBD  \nMBD has developed from the globalization of aircraft manufacturing and the extended product lifecycle of aircraft. In the past, aircraft companies were vertically integrated and manufactured most of their own aircraft components. Most had large machining centers and stretch-forming plants; some even had their own foundries.  \n3D MBI data captured from an F-18 structural component at the US Navy’s NAVAIR Advanced Measurement Systems and Reverse Engineering Lab.  \nToday, major OEMs are reshaping their business models tobe that ofairframe assemblers and they are outsourcing part and subassembly manufacture across a global supply chain. OEMs realized years ago they needed a process that would reduce time-to-market and improve product quality while efficiently communicating all the required design intent information needed by everyone in the manufacturing process, no matter where they were located. Model Based Definition is being implemented to facilitate these goals.  \nMBD, also known as digital product definition (DPD), is the practice of using 3D digital data (such as solid models and associated metadata) within 3D CAD software to provide specifications for individual components and product assemblies. The types of information included are geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), component level materials, assembly level bills of materials, engineering configurations, design intent, etc. By contrast, other methodologies have historically required accompanying use of annotated 2D drawings to provide such details.  \nBoeing has been in the forefront of the MBD movement. Boeing D6-51991 MBD calls for a dataset containing the exact solid, its associated 3D geometry and 3D annotation of the product’s dimensions and tolerances to specify a complete product definition. This dataset does not contain a conventional 2D drawing. MBD provides a single-source of definition, and it reduces conflict between CAD and paper drawings.  \nMBD Makes MBI Real  \nMBI is a very simple concept. It ensures that all ofthe information required to complete a manufacturing task, in this case inspection, resides in one master source, the model, that can be readily accessed and understood by any person or tool that requires it.  \nCAD-based insp","cbCaib5YqIO0MhiZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib5YqIO0MhiZ","pdf",522197,"English","# Origins of MBD\n## MBD vs. traditional 2D drawing specifications\n# MBD Makes MBI Real\n## Master model as the single inspection information source\n## Programming CMMs with integrated GD&T\n# Eliminating Conventional Inspection Inefficiency\n## Reducing paper-drawing friction and errors","[{\"question\":\"Why did aerospace industry participants reduce or eliminate 2D drawings?\",\"answer\":\"They implemented Model Based Definition (MBD) so dimensional and design intent are communicated through a single authoritative digital 3D source, improving consistency and efficiency across manufacturing stages.\"},{\"question\":\"What systemic benefits does MBD bring for manufacturing processes?\",\"answer\":\"MBD eliminates errors from referencing incorrect information, speeds processes by removing revision searching, removes outdated drawings on the shop floor, and reduces discrepancies between CAD and 2D documentation.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Model Based Inspection (MBI) improve inspection speed and usability?\",\"answer\":\"MBI integrates measurement tools and analysis more tightly across manufacturing phases, providing faster and more actionable information about part condition and manufacturing processes, while also saving time and money for users.\"}]","Model-Based Inspection of Aerospace Parts - Supplement to Manufacturing Engineering - Process Improvement | PDF"]
