Re-Use Your CAD ![]() Jennifer Herron
Jennifer Herron is the owner of Action Engineering, a company that specializes in the promotion, process development, and standardization of a 3D CAD Model-Based Environment. Her career has been spent creating and building complex hardware systems for the aerospace and defense industry, her … More » Using CAD models in the Digital ThreadOctober 19th, 2015 by Jennifer Herron
We are operating at a stage in design and manufacturing where 3D models are used for direct tooling, or used to generate injection molds, but still need to be supplemented by 2D drawings for PMI (dimensions, tolerances and notes). In addition to creating extra work, 2D drawings are fundamentally flawed because the interpretation is limited to 2D, rather than real hardware which is 3D. We see in 3D, We Should Document in 3D I realize we have grown accustom to 2D drawings in the workplace, but these orthographic projections of 3D data are limiting both in creation of un-ambiguous product definition and will castrate the performance of high-tech manufacturing processes, such as Additive Manufacturing (AM). ![]() 3D Collaboration and the Digital Thread requires all stakelholders to partipate in the descision making process. So… what is on the engineering horizon, and how can you step out of the 2D inertia spiral of death (a little Halloween humor for you)?
Here are three trends I see occurring this year in Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) and Model-Based Definition (MBD), or the Digital Thread:
