CAD (computer-aided design) files are digital files that house 3D & 2D designs as well as information regarding materials, processes, tolerances, and other data.
From design to production, everything begins with the CAD file.
Product manufacturing information (PMI) is essential engineering or manufacturing information embedded within a 3D CAD file. It is governed by ASME and ISO industry standards.
PMI may include the following information:
If you’re an aerospace manufacturer who wants to land contracts with Boeing, you likely have questions about how to meet their DPD Requirements. Here are the steps you need to take to make sure your parts and components pass Boeing’s D6-51991...
What is MBD (model-based definition)? And why is it important in today’s design, quality, and manufacturing disciplines?
Get involved with the MBE community! The ASME MBE Standards Committee is establishing working groups (WGs) to kickoff technical work toward the development of MBE Standards. The first two WGs are:
You may call it “3D CAD comparison,” or “CAD model validation.” We call it “comparative model validation.” But whatever you call it, comparing and validating your 3D CAD models is one of the most vital steps in the 3D CAD design process. And it’s...
Recently, Capvidia partnered with KOTEM, a leading software company for the industrial inspection and quality control space. KOTEM’s strength is in implementing Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, and they asked Capvidia to collaborate on CAD...
Capvidia was privileged to give a technology demonstration at the NIST MBE Summit 2019 on April 2, 2019. This video shows the technology demonstrated there.
