PTC announced model-based definition (MBD) capabilities within its Onshape® computer-aided design (CAD) and product data management (PDM) platform. MBD in Onshape is the first MBD offering within a cloud-native CAD and PDM solution and enables engineering teams to create a complete digital definition of a product by embedding all common product manufacturing information (PMI) directly into the 3D CAD model, including dimensions, tolerances, annotations, surface finishes, material specifications, and more. Cloud-native MBD in Onshape is currently in an early visibility program with select customers and is expected to be generally available in late 2025. PTC will demonstrate cloud-native MBD in Onshape with Aura Aero, a leader in sustainable aviation, at Aura Aero’s display at Zone B4 at the Paris Air Show, from June 16-19. “Even with the widespread adoption of 3D CAD, most manufacturing teams still rely on 2D drawings to communicate critical dimensions, tolerances, and annotations. This disconnect often leads to miscommunication
