Industry leaders in the CAD world will gather in May for the 2008 3D Collaboration & Interoperability Conference with an agenda that sounds vaguely similar to political nominating committees. In both politics and engineering software, there are those who are hungry for change. As difficult as overcoming partisanship in Washington may be for the next President, finding solutions to the interoperability problems that continue to hinder the world of 3D may prove to be even tougher.
David Prawel of Longview Advisors Inc., the organizers of the annual event, puts it this way: “3D software has grown into an indispensable tool in all corners of industry — design, simulation, gaming, web communication, and manufacturing — and continues to evolve and bring us new improvements. The one issue that holds the technology from its full potential is interoperability.”
