Collaborative R&D Project 2026

Manufacturing and quality documentation via production manufacturing information (PMI)

How can PMIs be used across the entire manufacturing chain despite system breaks?

Challenge and Motivation

  • The definition of a component is currently carried out using a paper drawing and an associated 3D model.
  • The 2D drawing is authoritative, whereas most of the work is carried out on the basis of the 3D model.

Objective

  • Identification of system discontinuities (design – manufacturing – geometric quality assurance) and their effects when using PMIs for feature definition on components.
