3. MBD @ Festo Current Future 3D Model 2D Drawing Comments 3D Model
All relevant information are on the drawing
Drawing is still the leading document in most processes
Future
3D Model
No 2D Drawing
Comments
No 2D drawing any more
All relevant information are in the 3D model:
Dimensions, tolerances, geometric tolerances, annotations, views, cross sections and identification IDs for the inspection planning
3D model is leading document in:
CAD / CAM process
Inspection planning
Shop floor management
Tool design
3D data exchange with suppliers

4. MBD @ Festo CAD / CAM process Current situation Disadvantage
Open questions
Development departments create 3D models and 2D drawings
NC programmer creates new CAM 3D model very often (Doesn’t need the 2D drawing)
Double work of 3D modeling
Misunderstandings and mistakes in the new CAM 3D model
CAM 3D model is different to the original 3D model
Still conflicts with design intent / production engineering intent
Still conflicts with switching to middle tolerances (Small model surfaces run into geometry conflicts)

Festo needs an answer from PTC regarding the complete CAD / CAM process

5. MBD @ Festo Inspection planning Current situation Disadvantage
Open questions
Development departments create 3D models and 2D drawings
Inspection planning copies the 2D drawing, and stamps the drawing manually
Step model from the 3D model loaded into 3D inspection software CALYPSO
No association between 2D drawing and copied 2D inspection drawing
No identification IDs for the inspection planning in the 3D model
No possibility to import the original 3D model into 3D inspection software CALYPSO
Still now closed 3D process in the inspection planning
Write permission in Windchill
Festo needs an answer from PTC regarding the complete 3D inspection process

6. MBD @ Festo Shop Floor Management Current situation Disadvantage
Open questions
Development departments create 3D models and 2D drawings
In the factory- and assembly departments are still 2D drawings the leading document
How can the shop floor management be improved with MBD?
ADVU compact cylinder
ADVU assemble station
Festo needs an answer from PTC regarding the shop floor management

7. MBD @ Festo Tool Design Current situation Disadvantage Open questions
First tests with Creo Parametric 2.0 and 3D annotations (ASM/PRT)
Planned – all engineering workplaces will have an screen and Creo View
Process not adaptive to overall Festo
Closed unit
3D data exchange to supplier without Creo (temporarily solved with color codes)
Festo needs an answer from PTC regarding the tool design process

8. MBD @ Festo 3D data exchange with suppliers Current situation
Disadvantage
Open questions
Supplies without Creo Parametric get a STEP file
Except the geometry all information from the 3D model are gone:
Dimensions, tolerances, geometric tolerances, annotations, views, cross sections and identification IDs for the inspection planning
Festo needs an answer from PTC regarding the 3D data exchange with suppliers
