Digitally transform your production using comprehensive software for part manufacturing. Effectively plan, collaborate, and execute high-performance production using integrated software for CAD, CAM, CMM, robotics, additive manufacturing and more.
Customers’ demands for fast delivery times, near perfect accuracy and innovative products call for next-generation, agile part manufacturing processes. However, many manufacturers are still relying on traditional (and often inefficient) processes that are based on specialized, disconnected solutions and partial automation.
To meet customer expectations while still yielding the required productivity and profit margins, you need to be able to automate processes, while seamlessly connecting teams, processes, systems and machines. This end-to-end process helps you define the most optimal part manufacturing process, ensuring highly efficient production on the shop floor.
According to Lifecycle Insights:
27% of engineers said that production delays are primarily caused by data transfers between different software and design changes that are difficult to accommodate.
21% of companies report that they cannot rely entirely on their CAM software to generate toolpaths reliably. On a daily basis, they manually modify their toolpaths in their CAM software applications.
Many manufacturers are still working with disconnected workflows, with over 50% still relying on standalone CAD and CAM systems. This approach can be time-consuming and could delay time-to-delivery.

Computer-aided manufacturing software is a powerful tool used by NC programmers to create detailed instructions (G-code) for CNC machine tools. These instructions guide machines that manufacture various parts to achieve the desired precision and quality. Manufacturers from different industries rely on CAM software to digitalize the production of components of various complexity. It automates and streamlines the manufacturing process and enhances the overall productivity of machining operations.
Part manufacturing and tooling software solutions help automate and seamlessly connect design, production and operations in a digital machine shop. They enable seamless data flow from planning to production with a comprehensive set of fully integrated tools: CAD, CAM, robotics, CNC (computer numerical control) machining, CMM (coordinate measuring machine) inspection and 3D printing.
Tooling and part manufacturing software solutions enable engineers to create highly precise, high-quality and customized components faster and at scale. In fact, with an integrated solution, engineers can create components up to four times faster — slashing lead time in half — while accelerating CNC programming by 91%. The digital machine shop enables seamless, data-driven production from 3D design to CNC machining and robotics, to quality control and finished parts. It empowers companies to run a more efficient, competitive, profitable and sustainable business.
