"The last three years have seen Delcam gain a much higher profile in North America,” claimed Delcam USA President Glenn McMinn. "This has come about partly as a result of the acquisition of established US CAM providers FeatureCAM and PartMaker, and partly because of increased sales of our existing PowerMILL, PowerSHAPE, ArtCAM and PowerINSPECT software ranges. The fact that we are working with so many partners at IMTS provides further evidence of our current high status in the US.”
"Traditionally, we have been associated with the mold and die industry,” added Mr. McMinn. "With the broader range of products we now offer, we are enjoying much wider success, especially in the aerospace, autosport and medical sectors.”
"With the extended range of Delcam software, we can provide a programming system for virtually any machine tool that a company might have,” claimed Mr. McMinn. "This means that visitors to the Delcam booth (D-3005) can be confident that they will find software to increase their productivity, reduce their lead times and improve their quality, whatever type of parts they want to manufacture or whatever kind of machine they run.”
The combined product range of the merged companies has seen a much bigger response at a number of exhibitions in the last year, especially in Europe, with EMO in Germany, Industrie in France and MACH in the UK all attracting record numbers of visitors to the Delcam booths. Mr. McMinn and his North American colleagues know that they are under pressure to duplicate this success at IMTS. "We will be showing new products across our complete software range in Chicago,” reported Mr. McMinn. "I am confident that these major product launches, together with the support of our partners, will ensure that our booth at IMTS will set even more records.”
