Target Audience

The Digital Manufacturing Pathway is designed for engineers, machinists, technicians, and manufacturing professionals who want to modernize their skills and stay competitive in today’s rapidly evolving industry. It’s ideal for those involved in CAM programming, CNC machining, and digital manufacturing workflows who need to understand how to leverage Model-Based Definition (MBD) and staged modeling to automate toolpath creation and streamline production.

Learning Objectives

• Leverage Model-Based Definition (MBD) as a single source of truth to streamline manufacturing workflows and improve data consistency.
• Automate CAM programming by generating precise toolpaths directly from MBD-driven 3D models, reducing manual input and programming time.
• Apply staged modeling techniques to efficiently manage part revisions and downstream manufacturing changes.
• Integrate MBD into CAM environments to ensure seamless alignment between design intent, toolpath creation, and production execution.
• Optimize manufacturing efficiency by connecting digital design data to automated machining processes.
• Enhance accuracy and quality by reducing human error and improving repeatability through automated CAM workflows.
• Understand the role of digital manufacturing within the broader digital thread ecosystem, enabling faster decision-making and innovation.
