3D PLM Seminar to Focus on Improving Aerospace Supply Chain Quality and Productivity

By DE Editors

Lattice Technology, Inc., Elysium Inc., and Kubotek USA have announced a joint seminar targeted at improving aerospace supply chain quality and productivity.

The free seminar will be held at the Edgewater Hotel in Seattle, WA, on March 25, 2010, and will discuss how to manage 3D data through the design-to-manufacture process.

The event will feature keynote speaker Rick Zuray, technical principal at Virtual Engineering Advanced Technologies, The Boeing Company.  Zuray will discuss the history of using 3D at Boeing, how the company leverages usable 3D data throughout its projects, and how they are leveraging 3D for design reuse and archiving. In addition, the three host companies will present examples of how 3D data can be effectively integrated throughout the supply chain to significantly raise quality and productivity of manufactured products.

“Manufacturers of every size need to continually improve operations by finding and removing every bottleneck that delays manufacturing,” says Ken Tashiro, CEO, Elysium Inc. “These three companies deliver industry-leading technologies and have established common,  integrated workflows that deliver on that requirement by making 3D data useful and productive throughout the entire process.”

Lattice Technology, Inc., Elysium Inc., and Kubotek USA each deliver parts of a workflow that makes 3D data usable across the enterprise,  including the exchange of data, verification of received data, and the ability to update data and then seamlessly manage engineering changes.   Integration into design-to-manufacture channels keeps 3D data intact for downstream use, including process design, simulation and documentation. 

The seminar will run in two separate sessions, one in the morning and another in the afternoon and is free to qualified attendees. To find out more, and register for the event, please visit Lattice Technology’s seminar page.
