Mar 1, 2021 · Product manufacturing information (PMI) is design, manufacturing, quality, and other data included in a 3D CAD file. Anything conveyed in a 2D drawing to build and measure a part can be upgraded to 3D annotations to help automate tasks, create downstream interoperability, and maintain various data from a single source of truth.

Product and manufacturing information, also abbreviated PMI, conveys non-geometric attributes in 3D computer-aided design (CAD) and Collaborative Product Development systems necessary for manufacturing product components and assemblies.

Product and manufacturing information (PMI) is used in 3D CAD and/or collaborative product development systems to convey information about the design of a product’s components for manufacturing.

Oct 4, 2016 · Once a 3D PDF is opened and the 3D content is activated, we are presented with a wealth of information such as product and manufacturing information (PMI), texts, images, 3D viewports, predefined views, tree nodes and attachments. How can we take full advantage of this rich content? Let’s look into the PMI first in this article.

Sep 11, 2017 · Product manufacturing information, or PMI, is any non-geometric data included within a 3D CAD file and can save you from needing to create 2D drawings.

With model-based definition (MBD), a designer or engineer places all necessary product manufacturing information (PMI) within the 3D CAD model, creating a reference point and a single source of truth for product design, manufacturing, inspection, and fulfillment.

Model-based definitions (MBDs) allow you to add product manufacturing information (PMI) to the 3D model. But semantic PMI is even better. Read on to learn why!

Aug 22, 2019 · But there is a better way: Product manufacturing information (PMI)—which enables the manufacturing system to interpret requirements, estimate costs and schedules, and ultimately make the product—can be embedded in a 3D modeling file as metadata. The client provides one file containing everything the system needs to know.

Jun 27, 2019 · Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI) consists of non-geometric data, that is attached directly to a 3D CAD model to define geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), engineering and manufacturing specifications, dimensions, and text.

Jan 20, 2015 · Product Manufacturing Information or PMI embeds info directly into a 3D CAD model about how to manufacture a product, run analysis on or inspect a product. You no longer need 2D drawings to convey information like GD&T (geometric dimensions and tolerances), surface finish, material specs, or 3D annotations.
