Capvidia brings MBD for Suppliers with browser-based 3D human-viewable models linked to QIF/STEP

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Capvidia, a global leader in Model-Based Definition (MBD) and Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) software, announced a major milestone for MBDVidia: 3D human-viewable HTML models synchronized with QIF and STEP AP242. The result is OEM MBD that suppliers can use anywhere with no CAD required.

How it works:

MBDVidia publishes standards-based QIF/STEP from native CAD (Creo, CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk, etc.) and now generates a linked HTML viewable (and PDF). Any browser can open the interactive 3D model and PMI, giving procurement, manufacturing, quality, and the shop floor a shared, authoritative view in a user-friendly way.

Why it matters for Suppliers:

  1. No CAD seats: Open interactive 3D + PMI in any modern browser.
  2. Faster RFQs: See features, GD&T, and tolerances in 3D to quote accurately.
  3. Fewer errors: Viewable is linked to QIF/STEP and native CAD—preserves intent.
  4. Bill of Characteristics click-through: Jump from each characteristic to the exact PMI on the model.
  5. Shop-floor friendly: Zoom, section, filter PMI; run on tablets or kiosks.
  6. Quality ready: Linked QIF speeds FAI/PPAP and audit-ready traceability.
  7. Clear changes: Model-to-characteristic traceability improves ECO handling.
  8. Start 2D → scale 3D: Use HTML as a low-friction on-ramp from PDFs.

“Capvidia is about simplifying collaboration between OEMs and suppliers,” said Tomasz Luniewski, CEO of Capvidia. “By pairing standards-based QIF/STEP with an interactive browser view, we make MBD universally accessible so quoting, programming, and quality teams can move faster with fewer mistakes.”
