Dear Partners!

We cordially invite you to take part at the recently started initiative of our magazine - “VIP project” called “CAD/CAM/PLM Portraits Gallery”. The principal idea of it is to record for our history the faces and thoughts of business leaders from the International CAD/CAM/PLM market, who have made a big contribution to this market and did (and do) a lot for industry development. The Project includes publishing of the exclusive 1:1 interview and placement of the participant Portrait on the 1st cover of the magazine.

We acknowledge the fact this VIP project is very ambitious and expensive in time and costs. In every case it has to be coordinated with the wide range of departments of interested corporations, but this is taking us to the very top management level of the corporations for direct interaction and discussion of critical topics. Almost all our editorial staff are drawn into this work, and not accidentally for the Gallery we have selected the very best place in the magazine including the earlier untouched First Cover. As a whole we are expecting, that “CAD/CAM/PLM Portraits Gallery” will be a long, serene and prestigious project, participation in which will become not only honorable, but also a reminder for all the heroes of the occasion. We expect this initiative will strengthen our real status within Russian language international and professional magazines in the CAD/CAM/PLM sphere.
