MBE & QIF Summit 2025

April 2025 Chicago, IL:   The MBE & QIF Summit 2025 brought together an array of experts that are driving digital thread strategies that power manufacturing innovation and please see the Summary of the Event from VP of Marketing Patrick Dunfey.  We are always excited to support this annual assembly of industry experts with model-based efforts ranging from 3Di Technical Data Package (TDP) capabilities enabling MIL-STD-31000B along with more recent initiatives such as DoDI 5000.97 Digital Engineering together with solutions for Controlled Unclassified Markings (CUI).

Many of these approaches were driven by the Defense community with crossover implications for any industry or organization interested in improved technical data collaboration.  Anark fully supports all the major Model-Based formats that feed into either 3D PDF file or Digital Engineering portal approaches and we enable these Digital Transformation initiatives at your pace!

OSD MANTECH Organic Industrial Base Modernization Project

Anark recently completed an OSD MANTECH Organic Industrial Base (OIB) Modernization project with the US Army which can be seen here:  "Anark Completes Groundbreaking Modernization Project for OSD ManTech".  This project showed the benefits of Digital Engineering technologies and approaches for packaging, hosting and collaboration with Technical Data beyond 3D PDF documents, exactly as DoDI 5000.97 Digital Engineering specifies!  This approach can be applied to any industry!

About the event:

MBE Summit

The MBE Summit has brought academia, government, and industry experts together since 2009 to share the challenges, implementation issues, and lessons learned in design, manufacturing, quality assurance, and sustainment of products and processes where a Model-Based approach is used. This includes all aspects of the product lifecycle from design, manufacturing, quality assurance, and sustainment of products, where a digital 3D model acts as the authoritative source of information.

QIF Summit

DMSC have been gathering those people and organizations interested in developing an open standard to facilitate the seamless movement of a model-based definition and manufacturing quality data. Quality of Information Framework 3.0 is a structured way to achieve that objective. Everyone interested in the standard and those who want to help improve and expand it will have the opportunity to do so at the summit.
