BROOMFIELD, CO, Sep 10, 2014 – Spatial Corp., the leading provider of 3D development components for design, manufacturing and engineering solutions, today announced the keynote speaker for their annual 3D Insiders’ Summit 2014, October 15-16 in Broomfield, Colorado at the Renaissance Boulder Flatiron Hotel. Spatial holds the annual educational event to provide technical discussions that enable customers to implement best practices, customize the software to better meet their needs and experience new capabilities.

Bob Potock, the VP of marketing for Zuken Americas, a global leader in electronic design automation software, will open the highly anticipated summit. Potock will speak on “The Shift to Product-Centric Design and the 3D Convergence.” Building a competitive product today demands multi-discipline collaboration and 3D capabilities have become the collaborative foundation. From product architectural validation to printed circuit board (PCB) design, 3D is playing a significant role.

“Spatial is a valued partner, and I am excited to participate in their 3D Insider’s Summit. 3D capabilities are playing an expanding role in the Electronic Design Automation industry and in product design in general,” commented Potock. “I look forward to sharing why 3D is becoming a competitive requirement in our industry.”

Potock is well established in the EDA community with more than twenty years of experience. Previous positions include roles at Mentor Graphics and Altium, where he successfully executed marketing programs leading to significant revenue growth. His marketing role at Zuken is complemented by his extensive engineering background in board-based and FPGA design.

“The 3D Insiders’ Summit is always a highlight for us because we are provided with the opportunity to work one-on-one with our customers to share insights and experience in using our software, which ultimately enables them to better meet their goals,” explained Jean-Marc Guillard, chief executive officer at Spatial. “We look forward to gaining insight from our customers and are honored to have Bob Potock as our keynote. Well-known in the EDA industry as a visionary marketer, Bob’s experiences in engineering, marketing, and EDA will provide attendees with a unique perspective.”

Highlights of this year’s conference include:

• More opportunities for one-on-one meetings – whether it is a business, customer support or engineering meeting, the Spatial technical, research and development, and executive team is available to meet and discuss individual customer needs.

• Deeper technical session content and hands-on experience – attendees are encouraged to bring their own laptops to work on actual projects and documents instead of generic examples.

• Install, test and learn the new R25 update – participants can try out the new capabilities in Spatial’s latest software version and see how the new features improve innovation.

Spatial’s integrated portfolio of 3D components and accompanying services for software developers is the backbone of industry-leading companies that provide 3D solutions from desktops to tablets. For example, ISVs who develop models for industries such as AEC/BIM, CAE, CAM and EDA seek 3D software components to enable increased innovation. Machine Tool Vendors look for better ways to serve their customers with software that is cost effective, easy-to-use, and takes advantage of the nuances of their machines. Using Spatial’s 3D solutions, these customers are more competitive by providing the most advanced 3D capabilities for application development.
