Engineering Conversations. Practical MBD Insights. Local Networking.
Join TriStar Digital Thread Solutions this July as we travel across Florida for the Florida CAD on Tap Roadshow. This multi-city event series brings together engineers, product developers, and manufacturing professionals for practical discussions around Model-Based Definition (MBD), Creo, and modern product development strategies.
Whether you’re actively pursuing MBD initiatives or exploring ways to improve communication between engineering, manufacturing, and downstream teams, these sessions are designed to provide real-world guidance you can take back to your organization. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with local peers, share experiences, and discuss common challenges facing today’s product development teams. Food and beverages will be provided at every stop.
