Best MACH ever, says Delcam 02/05/2008
 
Delcam has hailed the MACH exhibition held last month as the “best ever”.

UK sales manager Mark Corrigan reported that this year’s event had generated more enquiries, from a higher-quality audience, than any previous show in the series of biannual events. If anything, the exhibition was too busy at peak times. “We had people queuing up for demonstrations on Wednesday morning,” said Mr. Corrigan. “I can’t remember the last time that happened at a UK exhibition.”

Part of the reason for Delcam’s success was the much broader range of machining software now offered by the company following its series of acquisitions over the past three years. The full range of CAM systems is now made up of PowerMILL for high-speed and 5-axis machining, FeatureCAM for feature-based production machining, PartMaker for turn-mill equipment and Swiss-type lathes, and ArtCAM for routing and engraving. Together, the complete set of programs comprises the world’s most comprehensive collection of machining software, giving Delcam an unrivalled ability to provide solutions to all of a company’s programming needs, it is claimed.

The broad range played a major part in Delcam’s success at the exhibition. “We could offer software to boost the machining productivity of all the visitors to our stand,” claimed Mr. Corrigan. “In previous years, we often had to refer people to other exhibitors because we couldn’t cover some applications.”

The highest interest at MACH was in FeatureCAM, the feature-based machining software added to the Delcam range in 2005.
