After a long and intensive search for a CAD/CAM software package to operate our coming CNC-machine today we placed a order at Bemet distributer of Delcam software in the Netherlands. Delcam is a specialist in CAD/CAM and the only one with there own tool factory. Delcam is one of the few true tribride CAD/CAM software packages around. Tribirde means it can handle Solids, Surfaces and STL files as equals and that they can be used, modified and milled together in one model. Delcam is as far is I know the only product that is able to mill directly and fast on (large) STL files. Besides these for Solid Shapes™ important features Delcam is the package which can handle the widest variety of file formats. For us this is also an important item because we aspect a lot of different file formats from the designers we ‘ll be working for. As for Ben - our CNC operator - this for him new package is a welcome challenge to get working on the job he loves to do. Both Ben and I have a lot of course days ahead to get things up and running.
