Sabel Systems and Anark -  From Technical Data Delivery to Full-Baseline Review

Making Model-Based Engineering Data Accessible Across the Defense Industrial Base

Wednesday, October 21, 2026 - Noon Eastern

The Department of War is pushing digital engineering forward and asking industry to move faster to get capabilities into the hands of service members.

New platforms are starting digital and staying digital, while legacy programs continue moving toward digital engineering. But creating a sophisticated 3D engineering model is only part of the challenge.

The real value comes when trusted engineering information can be validated, published, delivered, understood, and used by the people responsible for manufacturing, inspection, review, supply, and sustainment.

Join Sabel Systems and Anark Corporation for a practical discussion about moving technical data beyond traditional file delivery and making model-based engineering information more useful across the defense industrial base.

Moving Beyond Sample-Based Technical Reviews

Traditional technical reviews may validate only 3 to 5 percent of a CAD baseline, leaving much of the Technical Data Package effectively unchecked.

Sabel Systems and Anark are working together to change that with a connected technical data workflow that publishes, validates, and resolves.

Sabel’s TDPWerx provides automated validation of the complete CAD baseline, while Anark brings model-based publishing, visualization, and collaboration to the delivered engineering information.

Together, these capabilities can allow government programs, OEMs, suppliers, and other stakeholders to work from trusted product data while identifying and resolving issues earlier in the process.

3D PDF, Self-Contained HTML, and Modern TDP Delivery

Technical data delivery does not have to mean forcing every downstream user into the original CAD or PLM environment.

The webinar will explore the roles of MIL-STD-31000 3Di PDF and self-contained HTML Technical Data Packages, including where each approach fits and why both continue to be important.

Anark can publish lightweight model-based product information that preserves critical engineering content such as:

• 3D geometry and product structure
• Model-Based Definition and PMI
• Saved views and engineering context
• Technical documentation and supporting information
• Information needed by manufacturing, quality, suppliers, and sustainment organizations

This gives downstream users access to product definition without requiring the same expensive CAD and PLM systems used to author the information.

Extending Trusted Engineering Data Across the Industrial Base

One of the biggest digital engineering challenges is not creating product data. It is getting that information into the hands of everyone who needs to use it.

Manufacturers, suppliers, inspectors, sustainment organizations, and government reviewers may all need access to engineering information, but they often work with different systems, different levels of technical capability, and disconnected processes.

This discussion will examine opportunities to reduce those barriers and make validated product information easier to consume across the defense industrial base.

Topics will include:

• Moving from limited sampling toward full-baseline validation
• Connecting data validation with automated publishing and delivery
• The practical differences between 3D PDF and self-contained HTML TDPs
• Making model-based product information accessible outside CAD and PLM
• Reducing manual handoffs and disconnected technical review processes
• Improving collaboration between government, OEMs, and suppliers
• Supporting alternate suppliers and a more resilient industrial base
• Moving toward model-based workflows without replacing existing CAD and PLM investments
• Improving technical data quality, traceability, and usability throughout the acquisition lifecycle

Why Attend?

Digital engineering does not reach its full potential simply because an organization creates a 3D model.

The value is realized when accurate and validated engineering information can move beyond engineering systems and become usable by the people responsible for actually building, inspecting, reviewing, supplying, and sustaining the product.

Attendees will gain a practical perspective on moving beyond sample-based review, making Technical Data Packages more accessible, selecting between 3D PDF and HTML delivery approaches, and extending trusted engineering data throughout the defense industrial base.

If your organization is being asked to move faster, improve technical data quality, reduce review risk, or make model-based product information more useful to suppliers and downstream organizations, join Sabel Systems and Anark for this important conversation.
