Start with
the news release Sheet metal work nesting and CAM amortised fast from
Jetcam International, which we summarised at the time by saying "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".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Laser profiling raises sheet metal work capacity from
Trumpf: "A coil processing line eeding turret punch presses were not keeping pace with demand, so a sheet metal subcontractor added on a CNC laser cutting and profiling machine".
In May 2007, we covered the news from Radan Computational
concerning its Powerful sheet metal CAD/CAM software
- take a look at Sheet metal CAD/CAM halves lead times
which says: "Three seats of Radan's powerful sheet metal CAD/CAM software and has subsequently seen lead times at heating and cooling equipment manufacturer shrink from typically six to three weeks".
Take a look also at the news release from Kirk and Blum Duct, Duct company to celebrate centennial,
as well as Forming Technologies appoints RAND from Forming Technologies,
