Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release CAD/CAM and nesting programs CNC punching from
Jetcam International, which we summarised at the time by saying "CAD/CAM and nesting software programs all CNC punching and profiling machines and has been optimised to to further improve the cutting path in complex nests".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release CAD/CAM choice offered local language support from
Jetcam International: "Dutch sheet metal working subcontractor used an extensive selection process to choose a CAD/CAM system that was more efficient, easy to use and offered local language support".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Jetcam International
concerning its Automated CAM and nesting software
- take a look at Sheet metal work nesting and CAM amortised fast
which says: "Fabricator of stainless steel catering and food service industries reported that the company's latest investment in nesting and CAM software has amortised inside three months".
Take a look also at the news release from Jetcam International, Efficient CAM has flexible MRP,
as well as CNC sheet metal profiling CAD/CAM advanced from Jetcam International,
and CAM system in use at Bombardier in Montreal from Jetcam International.
