What's New 2019 - MBD

January 15, 2026

SOLIDWORKS MBD 2019 enhances 3D manufacturing data workflows by embedding dimensions, hole details, bend notes, and tables directly into 3D models, eliminating traditional drawings. Key updates include sheet metal support with bend lines, notes, and tables, plus customizable display options. Security improvements allow password protection and restrictions on printing, editing, and copying in 3D PDFs, which can be previewed before publishing. Users can also copy DIMExpert schemes from one part to derived parts, streamlining downstream processes like inspection or CAM. These features improve collaboration, protect intellectual property, and simplify manufacturing documentation within SOLIDWORKS.
