The Digital Metrology Standards Consortium (DMSC) announced that its Model-Based Characteristics v1.0 (MBC 1.0), Persistent Identification and Related Digital Practices standard, designated as DMSC MBC v1.0 – 2026, has been approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an American National Standard (ANS), marking a significant milestone in the advancement of model-based engineering and digital manufacturing.

Aerospace quality is no longer simply about “form, fit, and function” conformity. It is now about operational resilience.

Technology companies in automotive and aerospace are revolutionizing engineering with Model-Based Definition (MBD), which makes 3D CAD models the primary source for product details, integrating dimensions and tolerances directly.

Verisurf Software, Inc. provides measurement solutions for surface analysis, quality inspection, assembly guidance, and reverse engineering. Their CAD/CAM platform supports a digital thread across design and manufacturing, enhancing efficiency and product quality through Model-Based Definition (MBD) and compatibility with all CMMs and CAD software.

The use of advanced 3D scanning tools is revolutionizing quality control, design, and manufacturing, particularly with the adoption of digital standards and 3D printing. However, this shift presents challenges in maintaining consistent standards globally and across different regulations.

Measuring thickness is critical in manufacturing many products to ensure quality, precision, and compliance with design specifications.

Model-Based Definition (MBD) offers a modernized approach to implementing GD&T into electric motor production using 3D models instead of traditional 2D drawings.

Verisurf Software, Inc. is a measurement solutions company committed to delivering advanced model-based inspection, reverse engineering, and tool-building workflows.

Engineers have historically used 2D drawings to convey product manufacturing information, even though they design products in 3D. But as quality control has become even more important, and as parts and components are becoming more complex to measure, the demand for automatic measurement programming has grown.

Referees at sporting events can fuel elation or outrage with their calls when it comes to a favorite team, but in truth, these people are needed to provide an impartial interpretation of the rules of the game.
