Hankook Delcam to Confirm CADCAM Leadership at Intermold Korea 2007
Delcam's Korean joint venture, Hankook Delcam, will confirm its status as the largest supplier of CADCAM software to the country's mouldmaking industry at the Intermold Korea 2007 exhibition to be held in KINTEX, Ilsan from 21st to 25th March. Intermold Korea 2007 is expected to be more than 50% bigger than the 2005 exhibition, with a predicted 1,300 exhibitors making it the largest mouldmaking event in Asia.
On its stand, Hankook Delcam will demonstrate how Delcam's software can help increase productivity, improve quality and reduce lead times for Korean companies. In particular, the company will show how it can help customers make the best use of new technical developments, such as high efficiency five-axis machining of complex components like engine ports, impellers and blisks; automated, knowledge-based CAM systems; Rapid Product Development; 3D tool design and On-Machine Verification.
The latest developments for five-axis machining will be highlighted as many Korean companies are now investing in this equipment to increase their productivity. For example, leading mouldmaker Shin Young has reduced the average lead time to produce a mould from thirty days to eleven days with a combination of Delcam's CADCAM software and five-axis machine tools from Mikron. Recent enhancements to the company's PowerMILL CAM software include a wider range of five-axis machining strategies, improved point distribution within toolpaths to give smoother machining and better surface finish, and faster calculation times for larger components or tooling.
At Intermold, staff at Hankook Delcam will also be celebrating its award as Delcam's Sales Partner of the Year for 2006. The company, which also won the award for highest sales in 2004, remains the only Delcam reseller to generate more revenue from sales of software and maintenance than the company's UK subsidiary.
Hankook Delcam was established as a joint venture between Delcam and company President Chan Oong Jeong in 1986 to take advantage of the growing market for CADCAM in Korea. It was one of the first resellers formed by Delcam when the company started the international promotion of its software in the 1980s.
Like Delcam's other international resellers, Hankook Delcam has always placed a great emphasis on constant staff training, both to keep up with changes in the software and to ensure they are aware of developments in related technology. As a result, the company is now able to provide exceptional technical support from very experienced specialists in both design and manufacturing. Together with the strengths of the Delcam software, this high level of service has enabled the company to win more and more customers, including many of Korea's leading manufacturing companies and academic institutions.
