Delcam is soft option for Toshiba

Delcam has been selected as the global CAM partner of Toshiba Machine, one of the leading suppliers of high-speed machining centres in Japan and North America.

Delcam has been selected as the global CAM partner of Toshiba Machine, one of the leading suppliers of high-speed machining centres in Japan and North America.

The companies already have a number of joint customers in Japan.

Even though Delcam's PowerMill is widely recognised as the world's leading software for programming high-speed machines, this was not the main reason for Toshiba's decision.

Instead, it was PowerMill's five-axis capability that was the major factor in Delcam being selected as the preferred CAM partner.

Toshiba will soon be launching two new five-axis machines and needed to ensure that companies buying the new machines would be able to program them successfully.

One of the first customers for these machines is a mould maker in Nagoya District of Southern Japan.

This company recently introduced a gigantic portal-type five-axis machine from Toshiba Machine and at the same time five-axis CADCAM from Delcam.

The three companies are now co-operating in the implementation of these new facilities.

"We are extremely honoured to have been chosen as Toshiba's global CAM partner", said Delcam's International Sales Director Tim Mitchell.

"It is a real testament to the skills of our development staff when such a respected company recommends that its customers should use our software".
