PartMaker and Gildemeister Partner for Productivity

Fort Washington, PA and Chicago, IL – PartMaker Inc. and Gital America have entered into a strategic partnership to greater enhance the productivity of programming Gital’s line up of multi-axis Turn-Mill centers and Swiss-type lathes.

Many leading Gital users around the U.S. and the world have already standardized on PartMaker for programming. This partnership marks a move by Gital to encourage the more productive off-line programming of its machines. Under terms of the partnership, Gital applications engineers will undergo training on PartMaker for use with their applications requirements and cooperate with PartMaker Software Inc. in the support of programming for new Gital machine models that come to market place.

"PartMaker is the CAM system of choice of many leading Gital users,” according to Roberto Nicoli, Gital America Sales Manager. "As we seek to enhance our customer’s productivity with our ever more advanced machine tools, it only made sense to team up with the developers of PartMaker.”

PartMaker is a Knowledge Based Machining system, allowing it to provide a substantial gain in programming efficiency by remembering the tools, material and process information necessary to machine individual part features. It thus relieves the user from reentering the same features information for subsequent parts. It also improves productivity by placing the emphasis on tool management functions.

PartMaker pioneered the field of CAM software for Turn-Mills and Swiss-type lathes with its patented Visual Programming Approach for programming multi-axis lathes with live tooling. It assures quicker learning and easier use. It makes an extensive use of pictures to help the user describe tools, part features and machining data. Synchronization of tools working on multiple spindles is achieved by a few mouse clicks.
