Delcam announced that the company is on target to achieve record sales in Asia this year at its Asian Technical Summit held in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.  As might be expected, sales in Greater China and India are showing the fastest growth, but Delcam’s Sales Partners in many other countries are also expecting to see their best results.

 

Delcam’s Asian Technical Summit is held each year to present the latest developments from the company to its leading customers and the technical media in the region.  This year’s meeting was the eighth in the series and the first to be held in Taiwan.  Close to 100 delegates attended from 13 countries.  They were welcomed to Kaohsiung at the opening dinner by Mr. Y.K. Tseng, Chairman of the Taiwan Mold & Die Industry Association.

 

With around half of the company’s revenue from software sales spent on research and development, there is always a large number of new products and enhancements to cover.  This year’s meeting included demonstrations of new versions of all of Delcam’s main software products for design, machining and inspection, together with details on new products, such as the OrthoModel software for orthotics manufacture, and the DentCAD and DentMILL systems for the dental industry.

 

These demonstrations were complemented by presentations from a number of Delcam’s customers, including surgeon Ninian Peckitt, dental company Cerasys, footwear giants adidas and machine tool supplier YCM.  These highlighted the wide range of different industries where the software is now used.  More traditional Delcam applications in the toolmaking industry were demonstrated during a visit to Jui Li Enterprise Co. Ltd., one of the largest press tool manufacturers in Taiwan.

 

The programme was completed with contributions from the event’s sponsors, hardware suppliers HP, metrology specialists Renishaw and rapid prototyping system manufacturers Z-Corp.
