Product and manufacturing information (PMI) Product and manufacturing information (PMI) is used in 3D CAD and/or collaborative product development systems to convey information about the design of a product’s components for manufacturing. More specifically, PMI conveys information such as geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), 3D annotation (text), surface finish and material specifications. Product and manufacturing information Enhances and shortens the design cycle by enabling product teams to incorporate product and process information during the design phase, thereby facilitating beter communications, fewer errors, streamlined design/manufacturing processes and faster change management. PMI accelerates decision making by enabling product teams to remove drawings from the supplier communication chain and replacing that information with persistent, associated 3D product data that can be deployed across multiple lifecycle processes.
