Capvidia

A mother lode of valuable insights from Lockheed Martin about their #MBD/MBE strategy: ➡ MBE practices allow for 2-3x faster design and engineering work. ➡ Using models throughout the supply chain reduce machine and inspection programming by up to 90%. ➡ LM has started transitioning to MBE with a planned completion by 2028. ➡ Suppliers embracing MBE will have a business advantage with new programs levying MBE practices.

We are honored to have so many returning sponsors. Thanks Capvidia for supporting #3DCIC again! We look forward to your conversations and insights.

Capvidia's tradeshow season is done for 2024. Here are our takeaways for the year: ✅ PTC/USER, Inc. continues to be a "for the people, by the people" conference, with great conversations between end-users and influencers. ✅ 3D CIC Conference #3DCIC made its glorious return. The industry needs an MBD/MBE-focused conference to grow. ✅ MBE & QIF Summit also returned, with George Rendell of Siemens Digital Industries Software announcing model-based characteristics in a future version of NX. ✅ #RealiveLIVE saw a growing conversation with MBD, QIF, persistent IDs, and characteristic accountability. ✅ IMTS - International Manufacturing Technology Show proved that MBD is growing, with large suppliers asking about handling MBD data from their customers. ✅ #GPDIS continued the theme of a model-based approach from the United States Department of Defense, emphasizing a digital engineering framework: digital models, digital twins, digital threads, digital artifacts, etc. What other tradeshows and conferences do you think Capvidia should attend for 2025 and beyond?

"The lowest-hanging fruit for taking advantage of MBD is characterization and generation of inspection plans." - Rudy Lozano Day 1 at #GPDIS 2024 is off to a great start with a dedicated model-based track and MB-x presentations.

We're at GPDIS 2024 this week! This year's theme is Digital Engineering in the Model-Based Extended Enterprise. Our own Rudy Lozano is presenting Implementing Model-Based Design in Real-World Scenarios. Other talks we recommend attending: ➡ Evan Kessick, GDTP-S and Michael Werkheiser: Characteristic Accountability with MBD and QIF. ➡ Tony Provencal and Tom Shaughnessy: Validation Strategies for Enterprise Use of 3D Model Data

Here are our four key takeaways from IMTS 2024 on the MBD/MBE industry: ✅ The industry is witnessing a significant rise in awareness of Model-Based Definition (MBD). More companies are actively seeking to integrate MBD into their existing drawing-based workflows, with many asking how to prepare for a full transition. ✅ Major customers are now demanding that their large suppliers handle MBD data, underscoring the growing importance of maintaining a competitive advantage. ✅ There is a strong interest in platforms like MBDVidia that seamlessly manage both 2D and 3D workflows, reflecting the industry's need for integrated solutions. ✅ The Quality Information Framework (QIF) is gaining traction, with increased adoption among customers and their CMM software vendors, indicating a broader industry shift towards standardized data management. Thanks to Daniel, Jason, Jimmy, Lyle, Rudy, Tomasz, and Victor for a great show. See you in 2026. #imts #mbd #qif

Are you or your team attending IMTS? If so, swing by and visit Capvidia at our booth. We're in the East Building, Level 3, Quality Assurance - Booth 13510. Grab a coffee from our espresso machine, relax in our big comfy seats, and maybe even enjoy some deep-dish pizza and other famous Chicago eats. Hope to see you there! 

A gathering of top experts focused on the practical implementation of model-based workflows, QIF, and the digital thread in manufacturing? We're in.

"You want to be human-readable AND machine-readable. The true benefit is to automate things downstream." Trent Stone of GE Appliances, a Haier company One of the core tenets of true model-based definition (MBD) is both human-readability and machine-readability. Machine-readable data provides automation and interoperable data downstream. Beyond automation, valuable insights and business decisions can be made by examining data from a single source of truth rather than tribal knowledge locked in disparate sources.
