I am writing to inquire about the technical feasibility and the product roadmap regarding the visualization of Manufacturing Items (MBOM) within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
Current Environment & Constraint:
- Current Roles: We primarily utilize CSV (Collaborative Business Innovator) and IFW (Industry Innovation).
- Issue: Users without manufacturing-specific roles—such as MFN (Manufacturing Engineer) or MGA (Manufacturing Specialist)—are currently experiencing difficulties visualizing the 3D geometry associated with Manufacturing Items.
- Context: As we are stabilizing our MBOM structures, it is becoming critical for cross-functional team members (who only hold CSV/IFW) to review the MBOM in a 3D context.
Our Specific Questions:
- Current Workaround: Is there an existing "out-of-the-box" method for a CSV/IFW user to visualize the 3D of a Manufacturing Item without the MFN/MGA license? (e.g., through specific Widget settings or lightweight apps).
- Roadmap: Is there a public or internal roadmap to enable 3D MBOM visualization for base-role users (CSV/IFW) in future updates (e.g., 202Xx FD release)?
I have been reviewing discussions on this topic in the Process Engineering Community (Reference: [Insert Link Here]), which suggests this is a common challenge for many administrators.
We are looking for a way to democratize MBOM data across the team without the overhead of high-tier manufacturing licenses for every reviewer. I look forward to your professional guidance on this matter.
