This project identified the importance of having interoperable programs and proved the need to standardize the data within 3D models to eliminate 2D drawings. The results of this project laid the foundation for additional MxD projects, including “Digitally Enabling the Supply Chain” with Rolls-Royce and “Creating a Model-Based Feature Information Network” with Lockheed Martin.

CyberSecureDashboard.com guides organizations, especially small and medium-sized manufacturers, through the process of assessing and securing their systems.

Aerospace and global security company Lockheed Martin was awarded a project by MxD to address this issue and lead the PCB industry into the digital age.
