Abstract/
Summary |
In order to reduce time to market and costs, the Canadian aerospace industry is looking into implementing the model-based definition (MBD) concept. Its purpose is to integrate drawing annotations directly onto the 3D model, therefore obviating the need to generate engineering drawings. From a PLM point of view, this approach becomes attractive because it reduces by half the amount of files that need to be managed and stored. However, in order to further reduce costs and delays during the product development process, a 'reduced dimensioning' (RD) approach should be considered. The RD approach is a working methodology aiming at reducing the number of drawing annotations by maximizing the use of the 3D digital product definition and the knowledge of the process capability. The objective of this paper is to describe the RD approach and to present the results of its application on two Canadian aerospace companies. |
