Precision engineering specialist Impcross standardises on Delcam design and production software

The move follows the confirmation at the recent MACH exhibition of an order for multiple seats of Delcam's PowerSHAPE design software, and the PowerMILL and FeatureCAM programming systems. Impcross, based in Stroud in Gloucestershire, has grown into a world-class centre of precision engineering over more than 20 years. It makes high precision components in an array of materials, for the aerospace, automotive, autosport, military and petro-chemical industries. The company has built up a wide range of equipment, including 11 3- and 5-axis Matsuura mills, two DMG DMU 5-axis machining centres, and turning and turn-mill equipment from Hitachi-Seiki, Mori Seiki, MHP and Romi, plus high precision grinding and jig-boring machines. The company is a long-time supplier to the aerospace, F1 and petro-chemical sectors. "At Impcross, we focus on providing our customers with a winning blend of accuracy and excellence," says operations manager Steven Arnold. "We offer quality, speed and competitive pricing to all our customers, whether they are ordering a one-off prototype or a large run of components. "Despite our status as one of the UK's leading centres for precision engineering, we know that we cannot afford to be complacent and so put a big emphasis on our continuous improvement philosophy," added Mr. Arnold. "With our new Delcam software, our production engineering and programming departments are fully-equipped to produce even the most complex parts on our 5-axis and turn-mill equipment. "In all the sectors we supply, the pressure for cost reduction is ever present but we also need to maintain our exacting standards and quick lead times without compromise. We believe that Delcam offers the best CADCAM software on the market and look forward to continuing the growth of our business with Delcam by our side."
