AMAP to Host Theorem Seminar at 'Digital Factory' Facility on 8th February
Leading CAD data translation specialist, Theorem Solutions has teamed up with the University of Sunderland to present a day-long programme of free seminars on 8th February, highlighting the capabilities and implications of new lightweight product data formats, such as: PTC ProductView, UGS JT, Adobe U3D, Latice XVL and Dassault Systemes 3DXML.
Hosted by Alan Stafford, manager of the University-based Institute of Automotive & Advanced Manufacturing Practice (AMAP) and the 'Digital Factory' project - part of the publicly-funded £9 million 'Accelerate North East' initiative - the seminars will enable local designers and engineers to gain an impartial assessment of the formats' origins, development and potential applications, as well as likely impact on their own supply chain communications.
The programme comprises two identical morning sessions, each giving an overview of the various data formats, their characteristics, their business drivers, and the importance of seamless data translation and interoperability between them. Seminars will commence at 8.30 am and 11.00 am, enabling attendees to choose the one that suits their working day best. Refreshments will also be provided and, as an added incentive, a prize draw for a pair of 256 Mb memory sticks will be held at each morning session.
An afternoon 'open house' will include a surgery for engineers and designers to discuss specific issues with Theorem staff. In addition, a live data translation facility will enable them to see the capabilities of Theorem's CADverter translators in action for themselves.
"Our unique position, both as an independent translator developer and a business partner with the major PLM vendors, provides us with a unique understanding of the way new formats are being developed and implemented," says Theorem's General Manager, Keith Jeacock. "Their growing popularity raises a number of important data exchange and interoperability issues.
"Theorem already offers a wide variety of translation solutions between the new formats and leading CAD systems. Through our series of free seminars, attendees will not only gain an impartial overview of anticipated developments and their implications, but also an insight into the solutions to some of the challenges they are likely to face in the future."
