Model-Based Definition product design

With Model-Based Definition, you no longer start from a 2D drawing to share product information, but provide all the information about your design directly in your 3D model.

From 2D drawing to single source of truth

Product information spread over 2D drawings, PDFs and separate files? With Model-Based Definition (MBD) you centralise all that information in your 3D model. You enrich the model with everything needed, from geometry to production specifications and inspection data, and create a single central source of truth. This way you work faster, avoid errors and collaboration with colleagues, production and suppliers runs much more smoothly.

Advantages of Model-Based Definition

  • Increased productivity: no extra derivatives or drawings needed, saving you time and work.
  • Fewer errors: All information is in one model, always up-to-date and clear to everyone.
  • Easily readable: Details are visually and unambiguously represented in 3D.
  • More efficient collaboration: Less miscommunication between departments and fewer correction rounds.
  • Progressive design: Aligns with the contemporary way of working of the designer (100% 3D).

The basis for your MBD approach? Creo!

With Creo you not only have powerful CAD software at your disposal, but you can also use Creo as a powerful tool for Model-Based Definition. Every Creo licence includes numerous features and possibilities that allow you as a design engineer to share product information with other stakeholders. In this e-book, you will find all the MBD features and benefits within Creo listed.
