Hello all,
I belong to a Japanese electronics industry association as PTC liaison. The name is JEITA - www.jeita.or.jp/english - the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association. In the JEITA organization, there is the 3D-CAD committee. They are discussioning about future standard in terms of 3D model based and GD&T annotation - so called 3D drawing. This year, they are planning a business study trip to North America. The purpose is to communicate and exchagne information with key Creo users where are similarly doing 3D model based engineering so that it can be improve the engineering and manufacturing process innovation. So does anyone know the reference Creo customers who are particularly doing 3D drawing? They are requesting to have a business meeting face to face during their stay in North America. ASME 14.41, MIL-STD31000A, AP242, and TC184/SC4 are also very interesting standard topics for the JEITA members as well. The travel timing is not fix yet, it is roughly one week of among September 2014 - March 2015. They are also interested in visit to PDES inc. and a MBD/MBE society if there is in US. If someone suggest some recommended visits, please let me know. The tour member is tentatively from CANON, TOSHIBA, NIKON, and SONY. They are senior level engineering managers and leading industry standard definition working with Japan government as well. You can also have an opportunity to ask them the Japanese companies' initiatives during the meetings.
Again, I am looking for North America Creo users to visit discussing about MBD/MBE initiative for Japanese manufactures.
Thank you,
