The Future of ECAD MCAD Collaboration
On-demand Web Seminar
Abstract
This session will explore business drivers and their impact on electro-mechanical design, as seen by the product lifecycle development experts at CIMdata. It will also introduce the industry's most advanced solution for ECAD/MCAD collaboration, jointly developed by PTC and Mentor Graphics.
Duration: 56:38

Overview
As electronics become a more essential component of all products, it is crucial that electrical and mechanical designers communicate regularly to ensure that their design changes are coordinated with each other to eliminate design conflicts. This is often done through verbal or e-mail communications, complicated when the two organizations are not in the same location, time zone, or even country. This inefficiency results in extended schedules, increased product costs and sub-optimal product performance.
This session will explore business drivers and their impact on electro-mechanical design, as seen by the product lifecycle development experts at CIMdata. It will also introduce the industry's most advanced solution for ECAD/MCAD collaboration, jointly developed by PTC and Mentor Graphics.
