Now to manage all the MBD data, projects and processes, you can take advantage of the rich capabilities in SOLIDWORKS Manage 2018, a new product line. What about Inspection after machining? SOLIDWORKS Inspection 2018 can now automatically balloon 3D annotations and then generate inspection reports, similar to the steps in 2D drawings as shown in Figure 6. Tolerance-Based Machining in SOLIDWORKS CAM.Ĥ. Figure 5 shows the tolerance-base machining. To leverage the intelligent annotations, SOLIDWORKS CAM can automate machining setups, strategies and Numeric Code (NC) programming according to the size tolerances in 3D annotations defined by SOLIDWORKS MBD. Export Software-Readable Annotations in STP242.ģ.
Now suppliers of large enterprises can view the MBD data since their clients have stopped sending 2D drawings in some cases. By the way, SOLIDWORKS MBD 2018 can also import annotations from Creo, NX, CATIA and STEP242. Therefore, this digital bridge can enable multiple downstream manufacturing automation opportunities, such as machining and inspection. These intelligent annotations in the neutral format can be viewed and analyzed by software programs. To drive the digital thread throughout a Model-Based Enterprise, SOLIDWORKS MBD 2018 can now export software-readable annotations in STEP242 in accordance with ISO 10303-242: 2014. Define a Software-Readable General Profile Tolerance in Notes or Tables.Ģ. It follows the common industry and company practices, reduces the busy explicit 3D annotations and can automate downstream manufacturing procedures. SOLIDWORKS MBD 2018 can help you easily annotate models with a software-readable general profile tolerance in notes or tables as shown in Figure 3. Please check out the launch site for more details.ġ. There are more than 400 new enhancements in the SOLIDWORKS 2018 portfolio, so we can only illustrate several quick examples in this post. The Model-Based Enterprise Vision Powered by SOLIDWORKS 2018. As shown in Figure 2, SOLIDWORKS 2018 has taken major steps to empower MBE across multiple production processes, from Definition and Communication to Machining, Inspection and Management. Obviously, the journey from Level 0 to Level 6 takes time and requires a solid software platform. An overview of the MBE Maturity Capability Index.
The MBE Maturity Capability Index provides a handy tool to clearly analyze the current status and indicate the next steps. As manufacturers across the globe implement Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) processes, a key question is how to measure progress and gauge success.
