Model-Based Definition (MBD) at its best. 

  • SOLIDWORKS MBD automates the generation, organization, customization, and sharing of PMI data required for production in easier-to-understand, more information-rich 3D digital formats such as SOLIDWORKS parts and assemblies, eDrawings, and 3D PDF. 
  • Streamline production, reduce cycle time, minimize errors, and support industry standards by defining, organizing, and publishing 3D annotations, including 3D model data, in industry-standard file formats. 
  • 3D annotations give you the tools to move from drawing-based to model-based workflows across multiple phases of your manufacturing process. 
  • Facilitate 3D engineering communication with integrated 3D specifications, greater clarity, and a shorter update path. 

The MBD Advantages

  • While product developers and design engineers have embraced 3D design, 2D drawings have remained the primary means for communicating PMI. SOLIDWORKS MBD is the first complete, integrated paperless manufacturing solution, providing the time, cost, and quality benefits of 3D to documentation and production.  
  • SOLIDWORKS MBD lets you define and organize 3D dimensions, tolerances, datums, notes, Bills of Material (BOMs), and other annotations.  
  • Eliminate time-to-market delays. SOLIDWORKS MBD adds clarity to your manufacturing communication with 3D integrated specifications, which can also drive downstream applications automatically, such as CAM and CMM programming. SOLIDWORKS MBD enables 3D annotations beyond geometry-based programming. 
  • Customize publishing templates for manufacturing, such as Part or Assembly Specifications and Request for Quote (RFQ). You can also publish to widely accepted formats, such as eDrawings®, STEP 242, and 3D PDF for clear 3D communications. 

Customer stories

The know-how of the SolidXperience optimization service has enabled LDV to achieve its productivity objectives, carry out large-scale projects and remain competitive against the competition.
Vincent Alie Design Director
Since implementing PDM, we have the foundation in place that we need to automate our processes, eliminate waste, and remove unnecessary costs.
Chip MontgomeryTeam Leader
Our success rate is so high because we’ve validated close correlation between the results we get from SOLIDWORKS Plastics Professional and actual production, using photoelastic and microscopic analysis tools to confirm the software’s simulation results.
Jeffrey NicollPresident
With SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D, we’ve reduced BOM generation time from hours to minutes, and the BOM information that we output is more accurate.
Shawn EckhardtControls Engineer
From incoming part lots to in-process assembly inspections, SOLIDWORKS Inspection software helps us catch more unacceptable parts and eliminate assembly issues.
Mark GerhartConfiguration Manage
With the automation that we’ve achieved integrating SOLIDWORKS with our ERP system, our designers only have to worry about working on the design and getting that job done properly... It’s much easier to visualize and model these designs in SOLIDWORKS, and we’ve been able to automate fabrication by employing MBD techniques.
Anderson ViecelliOwner and Engineering Manager
SOLIDWORKS Composer software gives us the capability to automate the creation of renderings and exploded views, which further enhances our understanding of the project.
Gary HagerSenior Project Manager/Engineer
What really sold me on SOLIDWORKS Visualize software was the ‘glass’ quality—how real it makes glass bottles look. We do a lot with glass and plastics, and we need a tool that provides the most photorealistic images possible. With the other packages, the glass quality was really not there, so we chose to standardize on SOLIDWORKS Visualize.
