Delcam Holds Biggest-Ever Meeting for FeatureCAM Sales Partners
Last month Delcam held its biggest-ever meeting of Sales Partners for its FeatureCAM knowledge-based CAM system. The meeting, which was held at the FeatureCAM development centre in Salt Lake City, attracted over 80 reseller representatives.
"The increased attendance reflects the dramatic growth we have seen since we became part of the Delcam group," commented Glenn McMinn, President of Delcam North America. "FeatureCAM is now sold in all of the 60 countries where Delcam has resellers. In addition, several of Delcam's established Sales Partners in North America have added FeatureCAM to their software portfolios."
The main highlight of the meeting was the preview of the forthcoming FeatureCAM 2008 version, which is due for release in the next month. Improvements include support for continuous five-axis machining for the first time, a wide variety of turn/mill and multi-turret turning improvements, new 3D milling techniques and an improved tool database with more options to link pre-defined feeds and speeds to individual tools. The new release also features numerous smaller enhancements and speed-ups, plus new and updated post-processors, in particular for turn/mill equipment, including the Mazak Integrex, Daewoo Puma and Nakamura-Tome machines.
The meeting also saw presentations to the most successful FeatureCAM sales teams from the last year. TriMech Manufacturing was named "North American Distributor of the Year" for 2006; the eighth consecutive year that the company has received this accolade. The International Distributor award went to another eight-time winner FCS International from Japan. Christian Briscoe was another repeat winner as the North American Direct Salesman of the Year.
