SolidCAM, ModuleWorks Celebrate 5 Year Partnership
 AACHEN,
Germany, Jun 4, 2009 - SolidCAM, the leading and fastest-growing CAM system
running in SolidWorks 3D CAD software and ModuleWorks, the leading supplier
of CAD/CAM components for 5-Axis machining are celebrating 5 years of
successful partnership. 5-axis Machining is widely used in the metalworking
industry for applications such as Turbine Blade Milling, Impeller Milling,
Port Machining and complex Mold making.
Way back in 2003, SolidCAM realized the growing demand for 5-axis
Machining. Given the technical challenges involved and SolidCAM policy of
aiming to provide best-in-class solutions wherever possible, it was decided
to partner with ModuleWorks. Initial integration and training built up to
the official launch of the simultaneous 5-axis module in SolidCAM2004 R9.
The initial reaction from resellers, customers and prospects was very
positive and SolidCAM today is at the cutting edge of 5-axis Machining
technology. Over the last 5 years SolidCAM has become established as a major
player in the 5-axis machining market. Meanwhile SolidCAM expanded its
5-axis technology and added support for additional applications including
5-axis Wood manufacturing, 5-axis trimming, 5-axis drilling and 5-axis laser
cutting.
Back in 2003, ModuleWorks was a young company with some highly advanced
technology, but only a handful of partners to make this technology available
to users. Over the last 5 years, ModuleWorks has grown steadily to a
position where it is used by 50% of the leading CAM vendors and has a team
of over 30 developers. ModuleWorks Managing Director, Yavuz Murtezaoglu
says, “As one of our earliest partners, we have always worked very closely
with SolidCAM. Their input and support has helped ModuleWorks 5-axis develop
into the powerful software that many people benefit from today”.
Dr. Emil Somekh, Managing Director of SolidCAM, states: "In a field as
technically challenging as CAM, it is impossible to be the masters of
everything. Therefore, at SolidCAM we try to select and integrate the best
technology available from specialist development companies. 5-axis machining
is one of those areas where a specialist supplier is able to provide a much
more powerful and complete solution than could possibly be developed in
house. I believe our results over the last 5 years show the success of this
policy."
