What SURFCAM Users And Industry Leaders Are Saying

• "TrueMill is quite possibly the biggest advancement in milling since the personal computer was introduced to CNC programming..."
  Charlie Vetter, PS Stix, Inc.
  
  
• "Using SURFCAM Velocity, our CNC sounds better cutting at 650ipm than it did cutting with legacy toolpaths at 175ipm."
  Bruce Thomas, RPM-PSI, Inc.
  
  
• "TrueMill will greatly assist us in being more competitive in the future."
  Dan O'Brien, President, O'Brien & Associates
  
  
• "We have been using SURFCAM for many years and did not hesitate when we needed to invest in a second seat of CAM software. We are a contract toolmaker, making intricate plastic injection moulds and SURFCAM is hard to beat for the speed and flexibility needed for contract work."
  Keith Squires, Classic Tooling Limited
  
  
• "SURFCAM has enhanced our whole operation. It's letting us take on jobs that other folks either can't or won't."
  Donald O. Hawk, Jacob Mold
  
  
• "Yesterday, I cut 28 corners using our NC software (SURFCAM) - something that would have taken us three weeks to do by hand. We are still able to get the look and feel of something that is hand-shaped using NC software and a router. It's amazing! The software lets me do what I need to do...The support we've received couldn't be any better."
  Randy Cockrell, Tiffany Yachts
  
  
• "We're always looking for ways to save money without compromising production or product quality. SURFCAM is one of the tools that helps me to do just that."
  Jon Kammerer, Jon Kammerer Guitar
  
  
• "The ongoing innovations in SURFCAM provide us with the confidence to program parts both accurately and efficiently. Using SURFCAMs MachineWorks verification, we are able to produce quality results in a fraction of the time versus previous methods. This reduction in programming time has truly boosted our shops productivity."
  Ian Adie, Western Industrial Tooling
  
  
• "SURFCAM does a great job letting us create features with minimal setups. Another good thing about SURFCAM is they keep coming back and asking the machinist and the programmer what they want. When they come out with a new revision, the sales people keep in good contact."
  Spencer LeFevre, Klune Industries
  
  
• "SURFCAM has had a huge impact on the business and our ability to get things done."
  Len Post, Harken Yacht Equipment
  
  
• "The client kept telling us that we wouldn’t be able to mill a part like that with the desired surface finish. But of course, we did. They gave me a sketch of the part; I drew it up in SURFCAM, programmed it, and cut it out of aluminum. We just love doing the impossible. SURFCAM, in particular, is the closest thing to magic that I’ve seen here in Batesville. We wouldn’t be where we are today if it weren’t for this software...We can go toe-to-toe with any competitor."
  Gary Blair, Batesvilling Tooling & Design, Inc.
  
  
• "SURFCAM is powerful yet easy to learn and very user friendly."
  Michael Schuffert, RKS Designs, Inc.
  
  
• "We knew that the investment we were making in 5-axis capabilities was an investment in the future of our business,… We were concerned about the time it would take us to be productive with our new equipment, but that’s what has impressed us the most about SURFCAM. The immediate impact that our new machine has made on our business is a testament to the ease of use and competence of the SURFCAM software. It has really provided a seamless transition into a whole new world of capabilities that we are eager to explore."
  Rick Ward, Owner, WARD Performance
  
  
• "In the first two weeks of using SURFCAM, I completely modeled a complex part for Honda and generated the toolpaths."
  Eric Fehrman, Fehrman Tool & Die
  
  
• "Our moldmakers have an average of over 25 years experience, building hundreds of molds per year for a variety of customer, using the latest computer technology. Because of SURFCAM’s ease of use and short learning curve, it is now as standard on the shop floor as the 1-inch micrometer. We currently have nineteen seats of SURFCAM, more than we ever expected to have. It's a powerful package for a mold builder, with many features that make machining easier."
  Tim Peterson, Industrial Molds, Inc.
  
  
• "SURFCAM’s reliability has decreased our programming time. What used to take us three days now takes us just three hours. I would have to rate the product a ‘10’, without a doubt."
  Gene DeGennaro, Mars Manufacturing
  
  
• "We are the only company in the world that currently makes Porsche heads from billets. They are stronger and cool more evenly... Using SURFCAM to create models is very easy. Just about 100% of the time, if we create the surfaces correctly, the resulting part will perform perfectly on our dyno testing engine. I don't consider myself a rocket scientist, and I'm not on the computer all of the time, so I need something that's fast and easy. We also use it to provide a visual illustration of our work for clients that visit the office."
  Scott Cousimano, CMW Racing
  
  
• "We’ve been using SURFCAM for about three years now, and it has definitely given us a competitive edge. Our engineers are confident that they can machine just about any part that we can throw at them... It’s a very fast product. In one test we conducted, our previous NC program took 4 hours to verify toolpaths because it was geared towards solid geometry rather than surfaces. SURFCAM verified the same toolpaths in 5 minutes, because it has been designed to work with surfaces. The difference was incredible...For our business to be successful, we knew that we had to have a software program that defined and machined surfaces extremely well. When it’s all said and done, we need to have good surfaces that we can machine. And that’s what we get with SURFCAM."
  Rick Gould, Polymer Corporation
  
  
• "The software is invaluable. It allows us to repeat very fine steps, all the while giving us precise control over where we are inside the cavity."
  Byron Hines, Vance & Hines Motorsports
  
  
• "Using common sense and the help files in the program, it literally only took two days of using the software until I was cutting heads. We have also been very impressed at the finish quality of the ports as machined."
  Rick Omdahl, Programmer, WARD Performance
  
  
• "We estimate SRM has cut our rough machining programming time in half and since we can be more aggressive, we’ve cut rough machining cycle time by 30%"
  Bud Tschudin, Modacam
  
  
• "SURFCAM has tremendously helped us to speed up operations."
  Tom Sipek, Flexpak Corporation
  
  
• "For us, lights out machining is a big deal - we’re small and it gives us that competitive edge. With SURFCAM’s SRM, we have more confidence that the finishing operation is going to run smoothly over night when nobody is here because there is a consistent step that is being removed. We don’t have to worry about the tool gouging or breaking and we have a dead even finishing pass. In essence, it’s like adding a second or third shift without increasing labor costs."
  Jonathan Elrod, Modacam
