Short Prompt- what will take 3D on the cloud? I was reading interesting paper Pictures in the Cloud by Kenneth Wong.

pictures-on-the-cloud

My conclusion is as following:

1. Traditional CAD will be transformed when move on the cloud.

2. Multiple 3D /CAD related services can be introduced in parallel with traditional CAD systems we have in use today.

3. 3D/CAD cloud services today can leverage unlimited computing capabilities cloud services can provide for different purposes (CAE, Visualization etc.)

So, what are your thoughts about it? Who will rule 3D /CAD services on a cloud? How proprietary CAD models and formats will be transformed as a consequence of this change? Do you think today’s CAD/PLM providers will keep leadership in this business?

Just my thoughts. Best, Oleg.
