Increasing numbers of aerospace manufacturers are benefiting from model-based definition's quality assurance processes.
Model based definition (MBD) is not a new concept in the aerospace manufacturing industry. While it has been applied to product definition and manufacturing for years, its use as a fully implemented process for quality control only has been realized recently. Many companies are modernizing quality assurance processes to embrace MBD because aerospace's prime manufacturers are demanding it. Advancements in both software and hardware technologies are making it easier to put all the key elements in place, giving aerospace manufacturers the last piece of the puzzle for an enterprise wide system of digital product definition.
