Delcam scores a double in latest CIMdata survey

Delcam has scored a double first in the latest NC Software and Related Services Market Assessment from consulting and market research firm, CIMdata.

The report confirmed the company’s position as the world’s leading specialist supplier of CAM software and also ranks it as the worldwide leader in supplying CAM systems to the mould, tool and die sector.

However, the company has been diversifying and has also moved up the list of suppliers to the automotive and aerospace industries.

The increased popularity of Delcam software in both industries has resulted from the new emphasis on efficiency and productivity in the sectors, according Delcam managing director Hugh Humphreys. “Traditionally, both automotive and aerospace companies have simply used the CAM system that came with their choice of CAD software. However, with the level of global competition now increasing, those companies are looking at their choice of CAM system much more carefully. This closer examination often shows that Delcam’s software can give significant savings, both in programming times and in machining times, as well as improving the quality of machining.”

Mr. Humphreys also emphasised the breadth of the Delcam software range as a key part of the company’s success. “Together, our complete set of CAM programs, PowerMILL, FeatureCAM, PartMaker and ArtCAM, comprises the world’s most comprehensive collection of machining software, giving us an unrivalled ability to provide solutions to all of a company’s programming needs,” he claimed. “This benefits larger companies, which can meet all of their CAM needs from a single supplier. At the same time, smaller companies can choose exactly the system they need for their particular combination of products and machine tools, rather than having to accept a compromise solution from a CAM supplier with a more limited range of software.”
