Edgecam chosen for high performance transmission
Faced with an ever-increasing demand for more complex machined surfaces, motor sports supplier, Hewland Engineering, has invested in Pathtrace's Edgecam system.
While the pricing structure of EdgeCAM Start will be very competitive, it will carry the same comprehensive support and backing as any other Pathtrace product.
CAM Technology has been set up by Andy Rose, who has some 13 years' experience in the CADCAM business dealing at all levels from problem solving and application engineering, to sales and financial justification.
Jackie Groves, Sales Director of Pathtrace said: "The EdgeCAM product has been very successful due to its strong production engineering roots.
It is also gaining significant sales in the mould and die sector.
The EdgeCAM Start product and CAM Technology are ideally suited to ensure the success of a low-cost CAM system, combining the high capability and productivity with the personal touch to fully support first-time users." EdgeCAM Start provides five proven modules covering three-axis milling, two-axis turning, RS232 communications, NC editor and remote communications.
The price has been kept as low as possible to ensure levels of support and make the software attractive to first time CAM users and small production machine shops.
To ensure the customer is totally familiar with the product, a full support package, which will include training, installation and commissioning, much of it on a personal, 'hand-holding' basis, is available if required.
EdgeCAM Start can be easily upgraded at any time without a price penalty to full EdgeCAM specification which is now installed at well over 16,000 users worldwide.
