Siemens' NX and Capvidia's MBDVidia support True MBD workflows with support for bidirectional interoperability from design to manufacturing.

Siemens' NX and Capvidia's MBDVidia support True MBD workflows with support for bidirectional interoperability from design to manufacturing.

With this release, Siemens’ NX software becomes the first major CAD platform to natively support intelligent PMI ballooning and Model-Based Characteristics using QIF. As the only CAD-neutral standard designed for end-to-end digital metrology and quality workflows, this integration represents a groundbreaking development in the industry.

 

Capvidia’s flagship solution, MBDVidia, fully supports this advancement with bidirectional interoperability. Model data exported from NX via QIF can be validated, enriched, and returned, facilitating true closed-loop feedback between design, quality, and manufacturing.

 

“Capvidia has been instrumental in shaping QIF adoption across industries. With MBDVidia, we provide the trusted backbone for verifying and exchanging model-based data between CAD, CMM, and PLM systems,” said Tomasz Luniewski, CEO of Capvidia. “The integration between NX and MBDVidia is the first step of fully realizing the end-to-end automation and traceability from design to manufacturing.”

 

Key Benefits of the NX–MBDVidia Integration:

 
  • Downstream Automation: MBDVidia automates inspection planning, First Article Inspection (FAI) reports, and metrology workflows using NX-generated QIF data—reducing manual rework and setup time.
  • Upstream Intelligence: MBDVidia sends validated and enriched QIF data back into NX to improve product quality and enable design-for-inspection.
  • Cross-CAD Interoperability: MBDVidia supports native MBD across Siemens’ NX, PTC Creo, SOLIDWORKS, and Autodesk Inventor—ensuring full compatibility across design, quality, and manufacturing systems.


By aligning with QIF and supporting model-based characteristics, Siemens’ and Capvidia jointly enable manufacturers to reduce errors, eliminate redundant effort, and accelerate their transition to the Model-Based Enterprise (MBE).
