Record sales for Q1, reports Mastercam author

New Mastercam seats, customers updating to the current release, and Mastercam’s Maintenance program have all contributed to the company’s record quarter. CNC Software also reports that for 11 out of the past 12 months, sales have beaten the previous sales records set for each month since the company started in 1984. “The sales trend that we are experiencing shows that Mastercam customers, new and old, are not only taking advantage of the many enhancements that we have offered over the past two years, but are also profiting because of them,” saidSteve Bertrand, director of Corporate Sales. “In addition to new seats sold, we are experiencing an increase in orders for additional seats of Mastercam from existing customers.” Mastercam X originally released in August of 2005, was redesigned to reduce programmer interaction and increase machining flexibility. This release, along with the introduction of the Mastercam Maintenance program, the delivery of Mastercam X2, and recently X2 MR1, has resulted in a record year in 2006 as well as the record 1st Quarter 2007.
