## Summary

Daniel Campbell, VP of Model-Based Definition at Capvidia, explains how Model-Based Definition (MBD) replaces 2D drawings with 3D CAD annotations to streamline manufacturing and quality workflows. He discusses the adoption of MBD in aerospace and defense sectors, citing Department of Defense contracts and companies like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon as key drivers, while noting Tesla's early adoption. Campbell outlines the technical implementation using neutral standards like QIF and STEP AP242, and defines related concepts such as the digital thread, digital twins, and Industry 4.0.
