High QA, a provider of manufacturing quality management software (MQMS), announced that founder and CEO Sam Golan will present at IMTS 2026 as part of the conference's educational program.
The session, "From Design to Part Delivery: Across the Supply Chain," will demonstrate how manufacturers can extend native 3D model-based definition (MBD) beyond engineering and into every stage of manufacturing quality,Äîfrom inspection planning and shop-floor execution to first article inspection (FAI), PPAP, reporting, supplier collaboration, and final part delivery.
"As manufacturers continue struggling with their adoption of model-based enterprise (MBE), OEMs are increasingly establishing native 3D MBD as the authoritative source of product definition," said a company spokesperson. "Yet throughout the manufacturing supply chain, many suppliers still rely on drawing-based work instructions and manually recreate quality documentation to manufacture and inspect parts efficiently. The challenge is no longer creating 3D models,Äîit is making those models practical across thousands of suppliers while preserving a seamless digital thread."
Rather than forcing manufacturers to choose between traditional 2D prints and any 3D MBD (Native, STP242 or QIF), High QA enables OEMs to author product definition once in 3D MBD while automatically generating the digital quality information suppliers need to manufacture, inspect, validate, and deliver parts. Whether the downstream process requires native 3D visualization, intelligent digital 2D outputs, ballooned characteristics, inspection plans, control plans, FAI, PPAP, or quality reports, everything originates from the same authoritative engineering model,Äîeliminating manual interpretation while preserving complete traceability.
The result is a connected design-to-delivery digital quality process that enables OEMs and suppliers to work together using a common digital language without disrupting existing manufacturing operations.
"The future of manufacturing is not about choosing between 2D and 3D," said Golan. "It is about making 3D MBD the authoritative engineering definition while delivering practical digital manufacturing information that suppliers can immediately use. High QA enables OEMs to create once in native 3D MBD and empowers suppliers with automated inspection plans, intelligent digital 2D outputs, FAI, PPAP, and quality workflows,Äîall generated from the same digital source of truth. That is how we transform engineering intent into manufacturing reality across the entire supply chain."
Attendees will learn how to:
,Ä¢ Make native 3D MBD the authoritative source of manufacturing quality
,Ä¢ Extend OEM engineering intent directly into supplier manufacturing and quality processes
,Ä¢ Eliminate manual interpretation and duplicate recreation of engineering data
,Ä¢ Automatically generate digital inspection plans, intelligent digital 2D outputs, FAI, PPAP, control plans, and quality documentation directly from 3D MBD
,Ä¢ Build a connected design-to-delivery digital thread across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and the supply chain
,Ä¢ Modernize quality operations while supporting both today's manufacturing realities and tomorrow's MBE initiatives
,Ä¢ Improve supplier collaboration, traceability, consistency, and manufacturing efficiency through a unified digital quality platform.
Manufacturers seeking to implement Model-Based Enterprise, accelerate the adoption of 3D MBD, improve supplier collaboration, reduce quality bottlenecks, and eliminate disconnected quality processes will find the session particularly valuable.
The session will take place at the IMTS 2026 Educational Conference, Tuesday, September 15, 2026, 2:15 PM to 3:10 PM CT in the West Building ,Äì W192-A.
