2 What does 3D Master / MBD mean? Single Source of Truth: Harmonization of the view on a product and its function by reducing the amount to information sources Fully annotated 3D models that include all of the product manufacturing information (PMI) Benefits: Centralized information Reduction or elimination of drawing creation and update Easier collaboration with machinereadable data Less room for interpretation and mistakes 2

3D Master / MBD From 2D to 3D Single Source

3 3D Master / MBD From 2D to 3D Single Source of Truth 3D Digital Master Past No automation Today Powerful PLM applications 3D Master Future 3D + 2D 3D Digital Master Digital Transformation 2D Paper 2D Master 2D as Single Source Associated 2D and 3D models 3D as Single Source 3

4 Challenges from 2D Master to 3D Master All information from 2D must be present in 3D Requires: New or adapted processes and tools Geometry definition Geometry representation / Views Dimensions / Chain Dimensions / inspection dimensions Dimension, form and position tolerances Surface treatment Manufacturing information Standards / Manufacturer specifications Assembly information / BOM etc. Support information Visualization Assembly and Installation instructions Explosion view Process description Customer label Documentation and stamp fields etc. Meta data Creator information (Name, Date, Validation, System, Database, ) Handling-Information (Description, Part number, Project details, ) Origin information / raw material information Property information (Material, weight, ) General information (General tolerances, Surface quality, surface finish, ) Drawing information (Scale, Page number, page format, direction of projection, ) etc. Change management Revision / Index Change description Geometry allocation Creator information (Name, Date, ) Link to change requests etc. Illustration of drawing information as: Geometry in part or assembly meta data in part or assembly Meta data in PLM Additional, free available documents 4
