Friday, September 12, 2025 – Malmö
08:00 – 08:30
Coffee & Networking
08:30 – 09:20
Keynote – Okay to Fail: The Entrepreneurial Spirit of Digital Transformation
Andrew Pierce, GE Appliances
Andrew discusses how GE Appliances fosters an entrepreneurial spirit to drive digital transformation, focusing on the role of innovation, failure, and iterative processes in achieving success.
09:20 – 09:55
MBD Implementation @ Vestas
Dennys Gomes, Vestas
Vestas shares its journey in adopting a drawingsless approach to product development, highlighting the role of MBD in tolerance analysis, quality control, and downstream processes.
09:55 – 10:30
Model-Based Tolerance Analysis
Karl Henrik Ryttersson, ARIADNE Engineering AB
Model-Based Tolerance Analysis ensures accurate and efficient product development by seamless integration with 3D CAD. It supports automation and balances quality with manufacturing costs. Defining product geometry with ISO GPS, functional reference systems, and capturing product function guarantees maintainability, quality, and simplifies quality control processes. This foundation enables automation which requires high-quality input data achieved through Model-Based Tolerance Analysis. Correctly defined and optimized tolerances result in an ideal balance between desired quality and manufacturing cost.
10:30 – 10:50
Coffee Break & Networking
10:50 – 11:25
From 3D Model to CMM – Automatization of Metrology with 3D PMI & QIF
Marcus
Grahn, Hexagon & Mats Johansson, Dynamate
This session explores how 3D models with semantic PMI are integrated into Hexagon’s PC-Dmis software for automated metrology, improving the accuracy of inspections.
11:25 – 12:00
How is PTC supporting MBD/MBE
Jonas Ljungsten, PTC Sweden
This presentation provides an overview of PTC Products to support the authoring and management of MBD information. It will be an overview of CREO for authoring and Windchill for the management of the (MBD) and datasets within the Model-Based Enterprise.
12:00 – 13:00
Lunch Break
13:00 – 13:35
Smart Manufacturing & MBE: The Role of Metrology
Helena Björk, RISE
Helena discusses how metrology is evolving in the context of smart manufacturing, and the critical role MBE plays in enhancing manufacturing efficiency and precision.
13:35 – 14:10
From Digital Design to Manufacturing: MBD-Driven CAM Automation
Fredrik Svensson, Sandvik Manufacturing Solutions
This session demonstrates how Sandvik, using the Up2Parts AI platform combined with GibbsCAM or Mastercam, leverages 3D models enriched with Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI) to automatically generate NC programs. That greatly reduces CAM programming time, minimizes human error, and shortens lead times from design to first article.
14:10 – 14:45
Digital Thread: Characteristics
George Rendell, Siemens Digital Industries Software
Siemens introduces first traceable Digital Thread for Characteristics. DMSC
specification for Model-Based Characteristics are supported through Design,
Manufacturing, Quality, and PLM workflow. New Characteristics capabilities are built on the industry’s leading capabilities for Product Manufacturing and Information (PMI) and Model Based Engineering (MBE).
14:45 – 15:15
Coffee Break & Networking
15:15 – 15:50
Model Based Definition for Digital Thread in Industry: Why, How, What?
Dr. Sven Kleiner, Em engineering methods AG, Germany
Digital masters and digital twins are key to the product lifecycle, requiring digital and fully associated data as MBD, MBSE, MBM, etc. MBD based on 3D CAD and ISO-GPS with PMI enables the digital thread and seamless integration in a Model-Based Enterprise (CAD/CAM, CAD/CAQ, supply chain). This session covers new workflows, best practices, technology solutions, use cases, success stories, and lessons learned across industries such as aerospace, automotive, and machinery. A future outlook on digital masters and twins in engineering, manufacturing, and operations concludes the presentation.
15:50 – 16:30
Panel Discussion – Overcoming Common Challenges in Implementing MBD
Across the Enterprise
Industry leaders discuss how to extend MBD across all departments—from R&D to production, procurement, suppliers, and customers—focusing on digital transformation strategies, challenges, and success stories.
16:30 – 16:45
