Model-based design (MBD) is a method of annotating computer-aided design (CAD) models with geometric and tolerancing information that allows engineers to draw directly onto a 3-D model. It shows promise for improving and accelerating design, manufacturing, and inspection processes. Many companies find it difficult to trust an electronic file versus a printed 2-D drawing kept in a safe place, but they may have to adjust as more companies adopt 3-D modeling.

Three-dimensional printing is a rapid prototyping process that builds objects by slowly laying materials such as thermoset resins. Desktop 3-D printers are now relatively inexpensive, at under $10,000. Like other rapid prototyping processes, 3-D printing faces impediments to widespread business adoption. However, despite the drawbacks, some small entrepreneurial companies have based their business plans on 3-D customized printing for the consumer market.
