Modern 3D CAD applications allow for the insertion of engineering information such as dimensions, GD&T, notes and other product details within the 3D digital data set for components and assemblies. MBD uses such capabilities to establish the 3D digital data set as the source of these specifications and design authority for the product. The 3D digital data set may contain enough information to manufacture and inspect product without the need for [[engineering drawings]]. Engineering drawings have traditionally contained such information.<ref>Thilmany, Jean, [https://www.asme.org/engineering-topics/articles/design/digital-tolerance "Digital Tolerance"], "MBD is a method of annotating computer-aided design models with geometric and tolerancing information that allows engineers to draw directly onto a 3-D model.", ASME.org, March 2011. Retrieved on 23 April 2015.</ref>

In many instances, use of some information from 3D digital data set (e.g., the solid model) allows for [[rapid prototyping]] of product via various processes, such as [[3D printing]]. A manufacturer may be able to feed 3D digital data directly to manufacturing devices such as [[Numerical control|CNC machines]] to manufacture final product.{{Citation needed|reason=is this actually happening, or is you use of "may be able to" literal|date=November 2017}}
