CIMdata ranks Delcam development team as largest in CAM industry

. The report states that Delcam has 125 staff in CAM product development. This is 15 developers more than sales leader Dassault Systemes, over 50 per cent more than UGS, and more than three times as many as PTC, which had only 35 CAM developers in 2006. “We offer the broadest range of CAM systems on the market with our PowerMILL, ArtCAM, FeatureCAM and PartMaker families of software,” explained Delcam’s CAM development director, Steve Hobbs. “Our large development team is our commitment to our customers to ensure they can maximise the benefits they gain from all of our products.” Even though it already has the largest development team, Delcam is in the process of recruiting extra software developers to help the company maintain its position as the world’s leading specialist CAM supplier. In particular, it is seeking extra staff to work on the company’s PowerMILL CAM system and PowerINSPECT inspection software at its Birmingham headquarters. “Our maintenance income was at record levels last year, which demonstrates the value our customers place on our new developments,” added Mr. Hobbs. “However, we know that we cannot afford to be complacent about our position and recognise that we need even more developers if we are to further increase our technical leadership over our competitors.”
