Delcam software selected for China National NC competition

A number of Delcam programs, including PowerMILL, PowerSHAPE and FeatureCAM, have been selected as the designated CADCAM software for the finals of the fourth China National Numerical Control Skills Competition to be held in Guangzhou later this year. The choice of Delcam software was unanimously approved by the technical experts organising the competition. The finals of this year's competition will differ from previous events in that the contestants will be assessed on their skills in five-axis machining. The system's multiaxis machining strategies will allow the contestants to maximize the potential of their machines, while the automatic collision avoidance function will ensure the safety of the machine tools and workpieces. Another important benefit for the students will be PowerMILL's integrated machining simulation that will allow them to view their results on the computer and so enable them to understand better the whole manufacturing process. "We are delighted that PowerMILL has been selected for the NC Skills Competition," commented Joe Zhou, Delcam's Business Development Manager for China. "We fully support the new direction of multi-axis machining technology for this year's event and will spare no effort in providing support for the participants. Increasing knowledge of five-axis machining is an important part of developing highly-skilled personnel that can improve China's advanced manufacturing technology and contribute to the future of China's manufacturing industry.Adidas
