March 24, 2011 - Visitors to the intec trade fair in Germany saw for themselves the numerous benefits that Edgecam brings to the metal working/processing industry.

Edgecam, along with SolidWorks, was featured on C-CAM® GmbH’s stand at the 13th intec trade fair for manufacturing, tool and special‑purpose machine construction, in Leipzig,

C-CAM® GmbH from Chemnitz, Germany, presented its CAD/CAM/PDM products on a 70m² booth (see pictures). The Edgecam CAM system was presented on 2 counters in combination with a small CNC machine and a lecture in the exhibitor forum. 

The company’s booth was very well attended throughout, and at the end of the fair 47 Edgecam prospects had seen how the software can help them get the very best from their designs and machine tools. First orders are expected in the next days.

Edgecam enables any manufacturer, from a small workshop to a large production plant, to fully automate and integrate its design and CNC machining processes, saving time, eliminating costly mistakes and increasing productivity.
