Understand the “Master Model”

How many times have I used this term without knowing whether my audience understood what that means???

• What is it?
  • Model Driven Processes
  • It enables a user to have a single model that’s used for all downstream processes from design, drafting, in-process models, tool & die design to the CNC program.
• Why use it?
  • Persistent use of the same data (concurrent engineering)
  • Process Manufacturing
  • Full Associativity

Master model enables a design change to propagate through tool design into NC programming. It ensures accuracy through the entire assembly knowing that the finished product is what the customer ordered.
