Radan, from Vero Software, has appointed 3D Concepts as its reseller for Germany. With a number of offices across Germany, 3D Concepts provides a range of software services for design, part programming and post processing to several business sectors including aerospace and automotive, along with the machine industry and tool, die and mould making.

Radan General Manager Chris Aston says 3D Concepts was the ideal choice for the role, as they are already the top German reseller for another Vero product, Surfcam. “3D Concepts can be more competitive by having a suite of software solutions from a single supplier, as a number of Surfcam customers also require a sheetmetal solution.” 3D
