- Bill of Characteristics for MBD
Recording of inspection characteristics - SF INSPECT 3D for PTC Creo
- For efficient MBD processes
Automate inspection features in the 3D model
Automated labelling & tracking
SF INSPECT 3D for PTC Creo automates the labelling and tracking of inspection features in the 3D model. Changes are automatically recognised and documented. PMI data is used directly to create the Bill of Characterics BoC, increasing quality, traceability and efficiency in the MBD process.
SF INSPECT 3D for PTC Creo automates the labelling and tracking of inspection features directly in the 3D model. Manufacturing and quality features are automatically identified, numbered and documented in a structured manner. This creates end-to-end traceability across design, production and quality assurance. Changes to the model are automatically recognised and visually highlighted. At the same time, PMI data can be used directly to create a bill of characteristics. This makes MBD processes more efficient, more transparent and significantly less error-prone.
- Advantages of SF INSPECT 3D
Increased efficiency
Automated stamping of inspection features in 3D.
Error reduction
Error reduction through automation.
Consistent data
Reduced effort
Direct use of PMI from the 3D model.
- Directly in CAD
Automated feature acquisition
Identification
SF INSPECT 3D for PTC Creo is a powerful solution for the automated identification, labelling and tracking of manufacturing and inspection features directly in the 3D model. Companies can use it to efficiently implement Model Based Definition (MBD) processes and optimise their quality assurance along the entire product life cycle.
The automatic „stamping“ of features in the 3D CAD model creates unique identification numbers. These enable consistent traceability of features between design, production and quality assurance and create a clear database for downstream processes.
Change tracking
Changes to the product model are automatically recognised and highlighted visually. They are also documented both graphically and in tabular form.
- Automatic change analysis
- Visual highlighting
- Tabular documentation
- Version comparison
- Transparent traceability
This significantly simplifies change tracking. Manual checking processes are reduced and sources of error in change management are minimised.
PMI utilisation
The direct extraction of PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) from the 3D model enables seamless further processing in downstream systems. Quality-relevant information is automatically extracted and provided in a structured format. This allows inspection characteristics to be consistently recorded and further processed.
Integration
With functions such as the stamping of features in 3D and combined states, structured feature lists and the export of quality data, SF INSPECT 3D supports modern digital manufacturing and quality processes. Companies benefit from more efficient collaboration along the entire value chain.

- Questions / Answers
General questions about SF INSPECT 3D
What is SF INSPECT 3D?
SF INSPECT 3D is a software for automated labelling, management and tracking of inspection and manufacturing features directly in the 3D model within PTC Creo.
What advantages does SF INSPECT 3D offer?
The solution reduces manual effort, minimises sources of error and improves the traceability of features throughout the entire product life cycle.
Does SF INSPECT support 3D Model Based Definition (MBD)?
Yes, the software is specially designed for MBD processes and uses PMI data directly from the 3D model for an end-to-end digital process chain.
How does change tracking work?
Changes to the 3D model are automatically recognised and documented both graphically and in tabular form so that changes to the previous revision can be traced at any time.
In which formats can data be exported?
In addition to Excel, SF INSPECT 3D supports the export of quality data in Q-DAS format and thus enables integration into existing quality assurance systems.
