Partmaker V8 gets Autodesk thumbs up

Delcam 's PartMaker Version 8, the latest version of its PartMaker CAM software for mill-turn centres and Swiss-type lathes, has been certified by the Autodesk Inventor Certified Applications Program for use with Autodesk’s Inventor 2008 solid modelling design system.

To attain this certification, the PartMaker suite of products had to meet the Program’s strict criteria, including demonstrating a high level of interoperability with Autodesk Inventor 2008. The certification, which follows the recent approval of Delcam’s FeatureCAM range, is granted by Autodesk only after a product has been approved after a rigorous testing process.
