"Differentiation Among CAM Software Products" by Alan Christman
The October issue of Modern Machine Shop contains an article authored by Alan Christman, Chairman of CIMdata, in which he discusses how CAM software vendors differentiate their products. The following is an excerpt. However the full article is available at Differentiation Among CAM Software Products
CIMdata recently assessed four CAM software vendors- Cimatron , Open Mind Technologies (OMT), SolidCAM and UGS and their products. The companies illustrate the vendor and product differentiation that exists in the market, as Cimatron is focused on the needs of toolmakers; OMT's strength is in five-axis machining of complex components; SolidCAM is a Gold partner of SolidWorks and promotes this relationship; and the UGS focus is on providing an integrated manufacturing solution within a PLM environment.
