“…A product's MBD can be defined as a dataset comprising the model's 3D geometry and annotations (Quintana et al, 2010). The annotations specify manufacturing and life cycle support data, known as Product Manufacturing Information (PMI), which may include Geometric Dimensions and Tolerances (GD&T), material and process specifications, and inspection requirements.…”

As CAD models continue to become more critical information sources in the product's lifecycle, it is necessary to develop efficient mechanisms to store, retrieve, and manage larger volumes of increasingly complex data. Because of their unique characteristics, 3D annotations can be used to embed design and manufacturing information directly into a CAD model, which makes models effective vehicles to describe aspects of the geometry or provide additional information that can be connected to a particular geometric element. However, access to this information is often limited, difficult, and even unavailable to external applications. As model complexity and volume of information continue to increase, new and more powerful methods to interrogate these annotations are needed.In this paper, we demonstrate how 3D annotations can be effectively structured and integrated into a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system to provide a cohesive view of product-related information in a design environment. We present a strategy to organize and manage annotation information which is stored internally in a CAD model, and make it fully available through the PLM. Our method involves a dual representation of 3D annotations with enhanced data structures that provides shared and easy access to the information. We describe the architecture of a system which includes a software component for the CAD environment and a module that integrates with the PLM server. We validate our approach through a software prototype that uses a parametric modeling application and two commercial PLM packages with distinct data models.

Extended 3D annotations as a new mechanism to explicitly communicate geometric design intent and increase CAD model reusability. ComputerAided Design, 2014, vol. 57, p. 61-73 AbstractA successful implementation of the Model-Based Enterprise concept (MBE) requires maximizing the potential benefits of annotated 3D models. The foundations of the MBE model are established by digital product definition data practices, which are currently regulated by standards such as ASME Y14. 41-2003 and ISO 16792:2006. At the center of the MBE concept is the notion of CAD model reusability, which relies on the idea that 3D CAD models can be reused both throughout the entire product lifecycle and as a starting point for future development of new products. In this context, a critical aspect of CAD model reuse is the proper identification and understanding of the geometric design intent that is usually expressed implicitly within the CAD model.In this work, we present a method to communicate geometric design intent explicitly by overloading and extending the scope of the current annotation instruments available in the MBE approach. We propose a new broader type of model annotation that we call "extended annotation," where design information is represented both internally within the 3D model and externally, on a separate repository. This structure naturally demands additional mechanisms to support the interaction of users with the information. In order to manage the information stored in these extended annotations effectively, we implemented an annotation manager that automatically synchronizes the dual representation of the annotations. To reduce the visual clutter in the 3D model, the software provides powerful filtering, editing, and visualization capabilities, giving users complete control of the information stored in the model. Finally, a study was conducted with 60 participants to evaluate the performance of the proposed model and the usability of the annotation manager. Results show a statistically significant benefit of using the extended annotation system, suggesting the use of this model as a valuable approach to improve design intent communication.

“…With the development of computer technology in industrial, designers can build a 3D model to carry out more intuitive product design [3]. At the same time, the product of the 3D model in product simulation analysis and digital manufacturing is also in a very important position [4]. It is precisely rich expression of product information that the 3D model have, "full 3D" concept was raised [5].…”

Abstract. 3D models play an important role in modern product design, and there has been a large number of models stored in enterprise database. Reuse of existing models takes a large proportion of new product design. Model search technology helps find existing models which is to be reused. At present there are three model search methods including text-based, content-based and semanticbased. Embedding knowledge into models filled models with abundant semantic information, which supports model search indexing. Embedding knowledge into models filled models with abundant semantic information, which supports model search indexing. A 3D model search method based on combination of design knowledge and model features is proposed. The technical connotation of the proposed method is introduced and an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
