Updates to Best-in-class MBD Software

Houston, April 6th, 2021 – Capvidia, the leading CAD software provider in MBD workflows, CAD translation, and validation, recently released 2021 versions of their entire software line.

The latest enhancements for all software features support for QIF 3.0, a robust MBD-ready CAD format for driving manufacturing automation downstream and capturing product quality data and feeding it back to a single source of truth.

More information about the entire Capvidia 2021 software release:

STANDALONE SOFTWARE:

MBDVidia 2021
(MBD CAD workflows)

What MBDVidia Does:

About Capvidia
Capvidia provides True MBD (model-based definition). Model-based definition (MBD) is the practice of having the 3D CAD model become the authoritative information source for a product's lifecycle. This is done by including semantic product manufacturing information (PMI) within the 3D CAD model that is both human and machine-readable. Innovators in digital manufacturing have seen double-digital productivity gains (up to 20%) with the adoption of model-based workflows. Learn More: www.capvidia.com.
