model-based assembly

Model-based assembly is a digital process where detailed 3D computer models of parts and components are used to plan how they will fit together in an assembly. Instead of creating physical prototypes for every design iteration, engineers simulate the assembly virtually, checking for interference, alignment, and fit. This approach improves accuracy, reduces errors, and speeds up product development, as problems can be identified and resolved early in the design phase. Overall, it helps design teams efficiently visualize and optimize complex assemblies before manufacturing actual parts.
