PLM Connection 2013 Is Here

This week we’re in Dallas to learn more about PLM. The conference covers a wide range of the PLM spectrum, but we’re focusing on PLM for part manufacturing. This includes topics such as NC programming, CMM inspection, and CAM data management. We’ll be in the NX CAM Track until Thursday, when the conference ends.

In addition to the plenary / keynote presentations, we have a nice mix of sessions lined up by experts from Siemens PLM and customers. This is the NX CAM Track agenda:
