Start with the news release SprutCAM speeds Anotronic's machining programming from Sprut Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "SprutCAM from Sprut Technology (UK) has helped Anotronic expand its conventional subcontracting business.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Geometric updates DFMPro for Pro/Engineer from Geometric: "Geometric has released version 2.1 of DFMPro for Pro/Engineer and Solidworks, featuring an injection-moulding module to help check the manufacturability of plastic designs within the CAD environment.".
 
In January 2010, we covered the news from Leader CNC - take a look at Leader CNC distributes Unamuno turning centres which says: "Leader CNC has become the sole UK agent for the range of Spanish-built Unamuno turning centres.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from LMT, LMT helps Brinksway to reduce processing times, as well as High-feed milling cutters machine hard steels from ITC Tooling, and GibbsCAM 2010 includes enhanced productivity tools from Gibbs and Associates.
