WAKEFIELD, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/14/12 -- The 3D PDF Consortium announced today that it is holding its first annual meeting in conjunction with the 3D Collaboration and Interoperability Congress (3DCIC - www.3dcic.com : ctt.marketwire.com/?release=851797&id=1265008&type=1& .. ), on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 23rd. The 3DCIC is dedicated to fostering and improving collaboration and interoperability in product design, development and manufacturing. The 3D PDF Consortium is a sponsor of the 3DCIC event because the popular forum provides an unbiased perspective that is vendor- and product-neutral.





"3DCIC is a natural fit for our annual meeting," says David Opsahl, the Consortium executive director. "The Congress focuses on end user experiences across any industry, and how users are meeting their objectives by leveraging product data assets in ways that generate real return on investment. Sharing experiences is appealing to our members because it provides them with valuable insights for innovation."



"3D PDF will become ubiquitous as the manufacturing community learns how the technology enhances collaboration in product development," explains David Prawel, president of Longview Advisors and founder of 3DCIC. "3D PDF already has a long history with our event. As many of our attendees are implementing real-world solutions to their PLM challenges, 3D PDF always ends up in the dialog."
