ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- CIMdata, Inc., the leading global research, consulting, and education firm specializing in Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and the Digital Transformation it enables, announces its participation in an upcoming webinar, "AI-Powered PLM for Mid-Market Enterprises." Sponsored by VIAS3D, the webinar will be held on Thursday, October 1, 2026, at 11:00 AM ET (8:00 AM PT). The 60-minute session will address the severe operational delays, high costs, and fragmented workflows currently plaguing mid-market manufacturers.

In today's fast-paced environment, manual data handoffs and physical prototyping severely slow product development. During the session, Tom Gill and experts from VIAS3D will highlight how engineering teams are adopting a unified Modeling and Simulation (MODSIM) approach, enhanced by artificial intelligence, to validate designs virtually before committing to physical production.

CIMdata's Principal Consultant, Tom Gill, will bring CIMdata's deep consulting experience to the discussion, offering his unique industry insight into mid-market challenges and solution requirements. He will join VIAS3D's Michael Davidson and Gerardo Ochoa, who will share information about the VIAS3D Solution (3DEXPERIENCE PLM Express & MODSIM) and then provide attendees with a practical example: Fan Design Optimization with MODSIM.

"Mid-market manufacturers can no longer afford the friction caused by disconnected design and simulation tools," said Tom Gill, Principal Consultant at CIMdata. "This webinar will offer practical strategies for integrating simulation early and using modern AI tools to optimize products early in the design phase—where it has the greatest impact on quality and cost."

This webinar will be of interest to VPs, Directors, and Managers in Design Engineering, Simulation, and IT, as well as business decision-makers and IT leaders at mid-market manufacturing companies seeking to modernize product development.
