CNC Software Inc., developer of Mastercam CAD/CAM software, has partnered with Machining Cloud GmbH to provide Mastercam users direct access to the cutting tool product data available on the Cloud. According to a company spokesperson, this reduces the frustration and time associated with obtaining the tooling information needed for their programming, simulation and other shop floor activities. "Machining Cloud's mission is to provide the manufacturing community a single source of access to complete and up-to-date product data from the leading manufacturers of cutting tools, machine tools and workholding," said the spokesperson. "Through the Machining Cloud tablet and desktop apps, Mastercam users will have access to a rich set of software features including cutting tool selector, configurator and advisor. Upon completion of the Mastercam Machining Cloud Interface, the cutting tool manufacturers' descriptive, usage and geometric information and application knowledge will be readily available for users to directly apply to their Mastercam system." Doug Nemeth, Corporate Sales Manager for CNC Software, said, "Collaborating with Machining Cloud will offer our Mastercam users a source to easily obtain the cutting tool data they need for their programming and simulation." Michael Taesch, Cloud Evangelist for Machining Cloud GmbH, said, "This partnership will create significant value and time savings for Mastercam customers by providing a solution to facilitate the flow of continuously up-to-date product data from the leading cutting tool manufacturers into Mastercam for CNC programming and simulation."
