Case Study: Bell Textron accelerates MBD adoption and supplier communication with Tech Soft 3D SpinFire Convert

Bell Textron accelerates MBD adoption and supplier communication with Tech Soft 3D

Bell Textron Inc., a leading aerospace and defense innovator, faced challenges in adopting model-based definition (MBD) workflows. Their shift from 2D designs was hampered by a lack of standardization, difficulties communicating 3D data with suppliers accustomed to 2D drawings, and the need to meet strict military compliance requirements. They partnered with vendor Tech Soft 3D and used their product, SpinFire Convert, to find a secure solution for sharing accurate 3D data.

Tech Soft 3D's SpinFire Convert provided a direct CAD-to-3D PDF translation, enabling Bell to communicate complex assemblies in a lightweight, human-readable format. The solution accelerated MBD adoption across Bell's internal teams and supply base, improved the accuracy and consistency of shared data, and provided the necessary security controls for compliance. The collaboration resulted in enhanced supplier collaboration and a faster, more efficient data stream.
