The Global Product Data Interoperability Summit will be held at Arizona Golf Resort, Hotel and Conference Center, in Mesa, Arizona in November 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th 2009. Capvidia will address the problems of CAD Model Validation in the Product Life Cycle Management. 

Maintaining CAD data integrity through the entire Product Life Cycle Management  process requires specialized procedures and tools. It is a well accepted fact that CAD data can change in the process of translation between different CAD systems. Controlling those changes and signaling potential integrity loss is a major challenge for the industry today. Quality standards call for installation of traceable procedures allowing verification of the 3D digital content at different product life cycle phases: design, engineering, manufacturing, data exchange with suppliers and finally archiving and documentation.  

Simple to implement and reliable procedures are required to effectively deal with those challenges. Capvidia offers solutions and products addressing: CAD data translation, CAD quality assessment, CAD data validation and  Open XML based visualization and communication tools. 
The ability to efficiently transfer a sophisticated 3D digital product definition through various hardware and software environments results in better use of resources, increased efficiency, controlled product quality and better communication and cooperation, not only within work groups but with customers, suppliers, users and business partners.
