Dr. Emil Somekh, founder and managing director of SolidCAM, stated: “North America is an important target market. The IMTS exhibition showed the huge potential for an integrated CAD/CAM solution based on SolidWorks. We expect more customers to move from separate CAD and CAM systems to the combined SolidCAM + SolidWorks solution, especially as we now support the full range of manufacturing applications including High-Speed Machining.” He further commented: “Production and mold shops will benefit from the combination of seamless integration and superior functionality, as it will give them the opportunity to manufacture high accuracy 3D parts with shorter lead times and fewer expenses. Therefore, the strengthening of our presence in the North American market is a natural step to maintain our future growth”.
