Model Based Definition for Digital Thread in Industry: Why, How, What?

Gain valuable insights, learn from real-world case studies, and discover how companies across the globe are implementing Model Based Definition to drive digital transformation.

Model Based Definition for Digital Thread in Industry: Why, How, What?

Dr. Sven Kleiner, em engineering methods AG, Germany

Time: 14:20 – 14:55, Day 2

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.

About the Presentations

The presentations at the Nordic Model Based Enterprise Forum 2025 bring together real-world expertise, strategic insight, and hands-on experience from leading companies and organizations across industries. Each session is designed to demonstrate how Model Based Definition (MBD) is being implemented in practice — from engineering and quality assurance to manufacturing and enterprise-wide integration.

Speakers share success stories, lessons learned, and technical approaches that highlight both the benefits and the challenges of transitioning to a model-based workflow. These presentations provide attendees with the opportunity to explore tested strategies, innovative tools, and collaborative methods that are shaping the future of digital product development.

Whether you’re looking to understand the foundational value of MBD or explore advanced applications like CAM automation, metrology integration, or tolerance analysis, the sessions in this forum are curated to offer insight, inspiration, and actionable takeaways.
