Additionally, Sandvik has acquired CIMCO probing technology and post processor business, a software add-on for CAD/CAM programs that enables CNC touch probes to measure and locate workpieces before machining, improving part quality and reducing set up time.
Barefoot CNC has served NC and SC for over 30 years, CAD/CAM Solutions has been a trusted partner in AL, GA and TN, and CamTech Engineering Services has delivered best-in-class solutions in FL. Integrating these partners strengthens Mastercam’s regional support and enhances commitment to providing CAD/CAM solutions.
