Key Industry Group Joins Popular Industry Forum

LOVELAND, Colo., Feb. 13, 2012 — (PRNewswire) — Longview Advisors, organizers of the annual 3D Collaboration & Interoperability Congress (3DCIC - www.3dcic.com), today announced the 3D PDF Consortium will hold its first annual meeting in conjunction with the 3DCIC on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 23, 2012. The 3DCIC is dedicated to fostering and improving collaboration and interoperability in product design, development and manufacturing. The 3D PDF Consortium also is sponsoring the popular industry forum.

"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. This is very appealing to our members. They gain valuable insights on innovative ways their manufacturing colleagues are addressing some of the same challenges they themselves face."

The 3D PDF Consortium is a community of companies interested in collaboration of dynamic 3D data through PDF files. Software providers, systems integrators, government agencies, and businesses that provide and consume 3D data solutions look to the 3D PDF Consortium to demonstrate the success of these solutions within the market and promote 3D PDF as a solution to improve business results. The 3D PDF Consortium promotes 3D PDF adoption through demonstrating best practices and generating awareness of the power of 3D-enabled PDF to solve a multitude of communication and collaboration challenges across various industries.
