Where 3D Data
Meets Real-World Transformation

March 2-4, 2027  Denver Museum of Nature & Science

3D CIC is the Go-To Model-Based Enterprise & Interoperability Event.

3D CIC brings together engineers and manufacturing leaders who are actively implementing Model-Based solutions in the same space as the solutions providers who serve them, with a content program built entirely around honest implementation stories. No filler sessions, no trade show noise.

We focus on attendee experience in service of depth, with a point of view grounded in standards and real-world implementation. At 250 attendees with a single-track format, the concentration of serious, engaged professionals in one focused domain is something a larger conference cannot replicate and a webinar cannot replace.

And did you know that 3D CIC is CAD-agnostic? The overall content theme focuses on interoperability, not on any single platform or tool. That independence is rare in this space, and it means the conversations are driven by what works across the industry.
