For good MBD, you need proper GD&T. Drawings are okay, but MBD is better. If you’ve dipped your toes into Model-Based Definition, then you know the devil is in the details. GD&T and MBD experts will guide you through the What, Why, and How of Model-Based Definition and the right way to apply GD&T for MBD.
3 days with hands-on practical exercises. Bring your own laptop! Our experts will guide you through building MBD examples in your preferred 3D CAD software program. The “pick-and-click” steps for applying annotations in your preferred CAD system(s) will not be taught during the course. Prior to the course, we highly recommend that you review the “pick-and-click” training modules for MBD & PMI in your preferred CAD system. Want to get started now? Click here.

What is MBD/MBE?
MBD. DPD. MBE. TDP. Confused already? We will review basic nomenclature to ground everyone’s language around this topic, to facilitate meaningful discussion throughout the course. Watch Action Engineering’s on-demand video courses to get a head start before the course.
Not Your Grandparents’ GD&T (aka GD&T for the Modern World)
You may be familiar with GD&T, but are you stuck in the ‘olden times’? The tolerancing definitions in ASME Y14.5 haven’t changed much in recent years, but the way we apply geometric tolerancing has improved! The move away from plus/minus tolerancing into full position and profile tolerances on features is needed for a simpler and clearer design intent. Join us in the modern age to learn how to implement the latest methods of using the GD&T standards. We’ll demonstrate unambiguous product definition with GD&T through a variety of examples.
Getting Started with MBD
Learn what it takes to move MBE forward. Leverage your rich 3D data by understanding how to bundle data together for Design, Manufacturing, and Inspection.
Hands-on Exercises
Putting pencil to paper is the best way to learn proper GT (and we don’t mean D) for MBD. Work through examples together, both on paper and using 3D CAD software, with the focus on functional design requirements.
8:30 am to 4:30 pm
Why MBE?
Understand the purpose and benefits of MBE for organizations leveraging 3D annotated models. Spoiler: MBE is not one size fits all.
A More Functional Datum Reference Plane
Learn the differences between Datums and Datum Features through examples. Simpler and more functional Datum Reference Frames are the key to better part control.
Hands-on Exercises
Work through more examples together, both on paper and using 3D CAD software. These examples focus on understanding the Datum Reference Frame and how they constrain the 3D model in 3D space.
Data Packages: Flavors, Buckets, and Bundles
Understand the importance and functionality of Data Packages throughout the product lifecycle to capture Design, Manufacturing, and Quality (Inspection) intent. Expand Product Information into a unique 3-plan system.
Hands-on Exercises
Work through more examples together. Walk through examples from design authoring to manufacturing work instructions to automated inspection.
8:30 am to 4:30 pm
Where the Rubber Meets the Road
Work with complex model examples to understand the functional relationships of geometric tolerancing authoring requirements in the context of the assembly and mating parts.
Hands-on Practice to Move Towards Practitioner Level Expertise
Continue working through examples together, both on paper and using 3D CAD software. Work through an entire assembly.
