Delcam launches Professional Services Group with Singapore seminar

75 delegates attended the formal launch of the Asian Division of Delcam’s Professional Services Group

Delcam formally launched the Asian division of its Professional Services Group at a seminar for 75 delegates at the Singapore Airlines Sports Club. The seminar, which included speakers from Makino, Messier Services and A-Star Simtech as well as Delcam, covered developments in aerospace manufacturing, maintenance and repair.

Even though Delcam’s software has been sold throughout Asia for more than twenty years, the Singapore site will be the first office in the region for the Professional Services Group. Like the existing team, the new office will provide process development and prototyping services based on Delcam’s range of CADCAM software. A similar focus on helping companies with the manufacture and repair of aerospace components will be the main priority, although the Singapore team will also provide its services to other industries.

Most of the projects undertaken by the Professional Services Group involve the development of turn-key work cells using Delcam’s adaptive machining technology. Adaptive machining uses a combination of machining and inspection technology to allow the production of complex components to a consistently high level of accuracy and quality. Typically, the systems involve a high level of automation, allowing them to be operated by lower-skilled staff. It is expected that the new group in Singapore will also focus mainly on adaptive machining projects.

The Professional Services Group was formed by Delcam in 2004 to undertake larger consultancy projects for users of the company’s CADCAM software. The primary business of the group is on working with clients to improve their design and manufacturing processes, and then defining procedures for using Delcam’s products to implement those processes.
