Pica Code IR-2026-104 Definition of an interoperable engineering data model for CAD feature recognition and support for manufacturing and costing processes of mechanical components

Planned Activities Analysis and selection of standards: identification and evaluation of standards for the representation and exchange of CAD data, geometric and technological features, Product Manufacturing Information (PMI), tolerances. Common Data Model (CDM) design: development of an interoperable data model integrating geometries, CAD features, dimensional and tolerancing information,manufacturing processes, tooling, and production cost data, providing the information structure required for Costing and AI applications. Data schema and exchange format definition: structuring of entities, attributes, and relationships, and implementation in formats compatible with the Digital Lake.
