Delcam to work with 30 partners at JIMTOF

Delcam Japan will be working with more partners than at any previous exhibition in Japan at the JIMTOF exhibition to be held at the Tokyo Big Sight from 28th October to 4th November. JIMTOF is the biggest machine tool exhibition in Asia and so provides an important opportunity for Delcam to reinforce its position as the world’s leading CAM specialist. The company will be promoting its CAM and inspection software in association with 30 partners, including many of the world’s leading providers of machine tools, cutting tools and inspection equipment.

Over the last three years, Delcam has broadened its range of software, both through the acquisition of other systems and through the introduction of new programs. This increased range of products means that Delcam can support a much wider range of equipment. The range of machining software now includes PowerMILL for high-speed and five-axis machining, FeatureCAM for feature-based programming, PartMaker for Swiss-type lathes and turn-mill equipment, and ArtCAM for engraving and routing. Together, the Delcam programs comprise the world’s most comprehensive range of CAM software from a single suppler.

This broad coverage makes Delcam a more attractive partner for machine tool companies that need efficient, high-quality programs to show their equipment performing at its best. Delcam can provide larger suppliers with a single source for all of their CAM programming needs. At the same time, Delcam can also provide smaller companies with exactly the software they need to get the best out of any specialist equipment, rather than having to use a compromise solution from a more limited choice.

As well as increasing its range of programs, Delcam has also broadened the variety of industries it supplies. Traditionally, the company was associated primarily with the toolmaking area, especially mould and die manufacture. However, it now provides specialist options for many more manufacturers, including those in the aerospace, autosport, footwear, dental and medical sectors. This diversification also makes the company a more attractive partner for other equipment suppliers.

"Partnering with other companies provides us with the opportunity to increase greatly our visibility at the exhibition,” explained Delcam Business Development Manager Sandy Moffat. "Visitors can see our programs working with the latest equipment so proving that our software performs as well in the real world as it does on the computer.”
