TOLLAND, CT, Sep 1, 2026 – Mastercam and ProShop ERP have announced a partnership that moves CAM program data into ProShop’s production workflow. Tool lists, program numbers and cycle times flow from Mastercam into the system, where Chip, ProShop’s native AI, learns from the data. Estimators work from actual program data rather than estimates.
ProShop also entered a third-party developer agreement with Mastercam. It lets ProShop build applications and integrations that exchange data with Mastercam and link programming and manufacturing operations.
“Mastercam is committed to supporting an open ecosystem that gives our customers flexibility and choice,” said Russ Bukowski, president of Mastercam. “Our partnership with ProShop enables closer integration between programming and shop-floor operations, helping manufacturers improve efficiency and gain greater visibility across the production lifecycle.”
“Shops shouldn’t have to re-enter what their CAM system already knows” said Alison Hawkins, CEO of ProShop. “That duplicative work slows down jobs and creates risk. With this partnership, programming decisions and shop floor execution can live in the same system, letting the data from one job improve the next one.”
The companies will showcase aspects of the partnership at IMTS, the International Manufacturing Technology Show, at McCormick Place in Chicago.
