Daewoo Heavy Industries (Machine Tool Division), Korea and Pathtrace PLC, UK have signed a worldwide strategic relationship agreement to co-operate on future developments of new production machining techniques for milling, turning and mill/turn machining. As a result of the agreement, Pathtrace and Daewoo will collaborate in the area of R&D to ensure new development matches the future demands of the manufacturing industry.
As part of this agreement Pathtrace will provide licences of its EdgeCAM software for implementation in Daewoo's technical centre in Changwon, Korea as well as other key Daewoo facilities in Europe, the Americas and other parts of Asia.
According to Kwang-Jin Kim, Director of Machine Tool R&D at Daewoo Heavy Industries (Machine Tool Division): "We investigated the leading mill/turn CAM solutions and chose EdgeCAM due to its ability to provide efficient toolpaths for milling, turning and in particular mill/turn applications. The flexibility of the EdgeCAM post processor is also very powerful. The all round capability of EdgeCAM maximizes the productivity of our Puma MX and TT machine tools. Productivity improvements are critical to our customers and by integrating the latest advances in multi-axis machine tools with EdgeCAM, our users will immediately benefit by achieving the highest level of return on their investment."
Simon Lee, Sales & Marketing Director of Pathtrace, commented: "Daewoo has endorsed EdgeCAM as the leading CAM solution for multi-turret, multi-spindle and multi-axis mill/turn machining. We are proud to be partnering with Daewoo in further advancing the capabilities of EdgeCAM. Their experience in this field will be invaluable to us."
