Elements of MCAD-To-CAM Integration focuses on data interoperability issues in design and manufacturing
July 15, 2004, Peterborough, NH -- Desktop Engineering (DE) magazine, the leading resource for design solutions from concept through manufacture, today announced it will publish a special, in-depth editorial section in its September 2004 issue focusing on design and manufacturing data interoperability issues, entitled Elements of MCAD-to-CAM Integration, its second in a continuing series of special editorial reports on important design-for-manufacture topics.Through the lens of Elements of MCAD-to-CAM Integration, the editors of DE will investigate the design and manufacturing data bottlenecks that occur across the engineering and manufacturing enterprise in OEM companies, then examine current tools and technologies that facilitate the MCAD-to-CAM process and report on promising technology and solutions on the horizon.
"As the next wave of productivity in manufacturing crests and competitive pressures intensify, engineers must overcome issues of design and manufacturing interoperability in order to speed their product's time-to-market," said Tony Lockwood, editorial director. Elements of MCAD-to-CAM Integration will provide practical, comprehensive information about the latest developments in MCAD-to-CAM integration to DE 's 63,000* subscribers seeking next-level gains in manufacturing productivity."
Elements of MCAD-to-CAM Integration will examine how MCAD, data translation, rapid prototyping and CAM impact the MCAD-to-CAM process from several points of view: design engineers using MCAD; manufacturers using CAM; and a discussion among industry-leading developers of MCAD, CAM and data translation technology solutions. "Design engineers trust DE for the news and insight they need to succeed," said Brian Vaillancourt, associate publisher. Elements of MCAD-to-CAM Integration explores important issues of design and manufacturing data interoperability that will help remove roadblocks in manufacturing productivity.
"Desktop Engineering is a monthly magazine distributed to 63,000 design engineers and engineering managers who use MCAD, data analysis, EDM/PDM/PLM, and data acquisition hardware and software in the manufacturing/process industries and in product design. Desktop Engineering is published by Helmers Publishing Inc. (HPI), which was established in 1979.
