compressors, turbines, fans and blowers.
CFturbo is acknowledged as an
industry leader in the turbomachinery
sector with its design software that runs
from conceptual design through to the
complete 3D model. The collaboration
with Open Mind Technologies will enable
turbomachinery designers to take their
design concept beyond the 3D model and
through to complete CAM model for
production.
Design output les can already be
exported to AutoCAD, Solidworks,
Siemens NX, Catia and Inventor, and
following this agreement CFturbo users
can now export design les into the
hyperMILL platform to generate CAM les,
allowing CFturbo users to go beyond
simulation, analysis and test validation
through to complete CAM NC programming
for part production.
hyperMILL boasts specialised routines
for ef cient programming and machining
of components on 5-axis milling or millturn
machines. The multi-blade and
single-blade turbomachinery solutions are
embedded within the software that is
applied to more broad-based milling,
drilling and turning applications, allowing
an all-in-one CAM system for
turbomachinery developers. Robust CNC
hyperMILL can now accept geometry
directly from CFturbo
post-processors are also provided to
assure strong communication to machine
tool controllers.
Customers can work with each
company to obtain tools, training and
services.
Ten-year celebrations to bene t NCG
CAM customers through discount offer
At the end of June 2019, NCG CAM
Solutions (https://is.gd/necote)
celebrated 10 years’ trading. End of year
gures have shown a huge leap in sales,
with growth of 41%, compared to last
year. Much of this increase is down to the
growing number of customers looking for
perpetual licensed CAM software as an
alternative to being forced down a
subscription route.
In celebration of this achievement,
NCG CAM Solutions offering a 41%
discount with all multi-seat orders of NCG
CAM perpetual licences until the end of
December 2019. NCG CAM specialises in
making the machining of complex 3D
shapes easy.
Says Estelle Dunsmuir, sales and
marketing director, NCG CAM Solutions:
“Having worked with our software since it
was rst developed as Depocam 22 years
ago, it really is an exciting time. Customer
care and support is of the utmost
importance to us, so passing our success
down to the customers is a must. Whilst
offering this special discount until the end
of December, we have also recruited two
additional software developers recently to
enable us to add even more developments
to NCG CAM, again giving more value to
our customers.”
Also, in line with the 10-year
anniversary, NCG CAM v17 is planned to
be released at the end of summer and will
be the rst version with the new, modern,
ribbon-based user interface. It is expected
that the new UI will further increase sales.

Supporting digital transformation
DP Technology Corp says it is supporting
the digital transformation in manufacturing
through its Esprit CADCAM software with
its free-form 5-axis solutions, including
digital twinning, machine-aware
manufacturing, knowledge-based
machining and cloud-enabled devices.
The software, says DP Technology
(https://is.gd/calepa), enables
manufacturers to streamline their
work ows, prevent silos from forming
during the manufacturing process,
increases tool life and machine utilisation,
as well as support greater access to
practical knowledge for process
improvement.
At the heart of accurate and ef cient
Free-form 5-axis machining with Esprit is
the concept of ‘Machine Awareness’.
Esprit models a machines’ full
capabilities, from axis travels and
kinematic chains to tooling and
Esprit CADCAM boasts
multiple strategies
to support 5-axis
machining
