So, about a decade ago, when Shaun Mymudes, SolidCAM Inc COO, joined us, we decided to change the strategy and build our own SolidCAM marketing, sales, technical support and post team.

It was OK for a while but then it deteriorated because they could not build a serious CAM team, as the SolidWorks resellers in Europe and APAC did. In the US market, we started working with SolidWorks resellers. All other local German CAM players are way behind, and MasterCAM also is a small player. However, we will pass them a lot soon, because they specialize mainly in Sim5x and have neglected their mill-turn solution, which is the fastest growing niche in the CNC market. We are today the CAM leaders in the German market, fighting for 1 st place with Hypermill. So, we started in Europe, specifically Germany, and APAC, specifically Japan. When we started Intl SolidCAM sales, decades ago, I knew the US market will be the toughest, because of the strong local competition (MasterCAM, SurfCAM, GibbsCAM et al.). Let’s have a bird’s eye view of our situation in the US.
