FeatureCAM Joins Delcam
The US-based CAM software specialist Engineering Geometry Systems - the developer of the FeatureCAM CADCAM software line - has joined Delcam PLC (Birmingham, England), so consolidating the latter company's position as leading world-wide supplier of specialist machining software and services.
FeatureCAM will continue as an independent product line, developed in the USA and marketed world-wide. "The only immediate difference existing FeatureCAM users will see is a change in the company name to Delcam USA," said Delcam's Managing Director Hugh Humphreys. "I am pleased that all EGS' management and staff have agreed to stay with the company.
"Both companies produced record sales in 2004, so it only makes sense to continue to strengthen both product lines and aggressively market them worldwide."
Introduced in 1995, FeatureCAM was the world's first Windows(tm) and feature-based milling system. The product range has grown significantly to include turning, wire-EDM, mill-turn packages and feature recognition for imported CAD files.
"Joining Delcam will help provide the additional exposure and resources necessary to move FeatureCAM to an even higher level of automation to better serve our customers," said Glenn McMinn, the former President of Engineering Geometry Systems and who is now President of Delcam USA. "Delcam is an experienced player in the CAM business and, as a result, the company has a much broader reseller network with more than 150 offices in 60 countries. Being part of Delcam will help us grow our sales significantly and increase our international market share."
