successful diversification strategy
over the period covered by the award, delcam has continued to grow its business outside the mould and die area, both in other areas of toolmaking, in particular press tool manufacture, and in other industries, such as the production of components for the aerospace and autosport industries. the use of cadcam techniques is well-established in all these areas but delcam has also been successful in other industries where the technology is not so familiar, in particular, footwear, jewellery, signmaking and ceramics.
the latest stage in this process has been acquisition of the us-based cam software specialists engineering geometry systems, the developer of the featurecam cad/cam software line. featurecam is used primarily for automated machining rather than tooling manufacture. the software range includes turning, wire-edm, and mill-turn packages, areas that delcam's established systems did not cover.
increased focus on sales to larger companies
delcam has also put more focus on sales to larger organisations as well as to smaller and medium-sized companies. it has seen particular success in the automotive industry where its customers include ford, general motors, nissan, toyota, hyundai and many others.
