History
3D CIC was founded by Dr. David Prawel of LongView Advisors with the following vision:
To present speakers and demonstrations pertaining to (1) sharing of 3D computer-aided design (“CAD”) information by and between discrete manufacturing companies, their employees, their supply chains, and their distribution partners, in a product design and development context (“Collaboration”); and (2) interpretation, implementation, and usage of 3D digital data by and between 3D CAD software applications (“Interoperability”).
Action Engineering joined Dr. Prawel to lead the conference in 2015, then assumed ownership of 3D CIC the following year.
