Learn how to use the Import PMI Wizard in Geomagic Control X in this quick tutorial. This tool brings in 3D models containing Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI), also known as Model-Based Definition (MBD). By utilizing MBD over traditional 2D drawings, you eliminate ambiguity and significantly reduce manufacturing errors.

This embedded 3D data automatically becomes your inspection plan in Control X, eliminating the need to manually enter datums, GD&T, and dimensions, dramatically speeding up your quality control workflow.
