CAD/CAM Software Company, SharpCam, Officially Enters United States Market

The company SharpCam Ltd has had a wide presence in the United Kingdom for several years and has now recently set up a SharpCam USA office to extend the company’s valuable CAD/CAM software products and services.

SharpCam is different from other CAD/CAM software vendors for a wide variety of reasons. One of the differences is that SharpCam CAD/CAM software is made to be simple. The company’s slogan, “Design it. Cut it.”, describes the simplicity that SharpCam aims to create for their customers. Just in case a customer needs help, SharpCam offers free support and service, which includes general support, free post processors, post customizations, and RS232/DNC support.

Chris Walker, Director of Tromec Ltd, says, “We started a new engineer, with no CAD/CAM experience, and within a day he was producing parts! It doesn’t get much easier than SharpCam!”

SharpCam also offers other benefits many major vendors do not offer including an incredibly low upfront cost, no maintenance fees, one year of free upgrades, and more.

“I was not really looking to replace my existing CAD/CAM system, but after seeing what SharpCam could do, and at that price, I didn’t hesitate to make the change. The Machine Definitions work straight out of the box, no more editing NC code by hand!,” says Cliff Eglington, a SharpCam customer.

The user interface uses Microsoft’s DirectX technology allowing the software to produce high performance graphics and ensuring flicker free operation. SharpCam uses Advanced Polygon Model based integrated toolpath verification allowing for solid, translucent or wireframe animated tool display. The software also uses powerful snapping that is usually only found in high end CAD systems making SharpCam the easiest and quickest system available at an affordable price. SharpCam has even more features including a Machine Developer, Machine Definition Configuration, Advanced Pocketing, Always There NC Code, Full Associativity, a super easy G-Code editor with built-in RS232/DNC communication capabilities and so much more.

With the new office in the United States located in Tampa, Florida, SharpCam is excited to have a presence in a new country. By expanding locations, SharpCam is also able to expand the reach of their technical support and customer service offerings and of course their high quality yet affordable CAD/CAM software their programmers have worked so hard to create.
