.decimal, Inc.

".decimal relies heavily on technology to deliver custom, patient specific medical devices to our clients around the globe. As cancer care advances, the parts we are asked to make are becoming more complex. "

"To accurately and quickly process these requirements, the company has added Mazak 7-Axis multitasking CNCs to the facility. In parallel, the need for the other industry segments we support such as defence and aerospace, to reduce there transitional costs and schedule compression has us exploring the limits of these machines' capabilities."

"We needed a post-processor that would work with our CAM system to seamlessly integrate these machines into our internet based manufacturing business model. ICAM has been able to fill that need with not only a great tool but also prompt and thorough customer service."

"After the ownership change at our facility, management provided a new and committed vision towards the future. When I was brought on board, I was told we want a “state of the art” manufacturing system. After three months of research within the Volvo group, I arrived at the conclusion that a corporate solution did not exist."
 
"After my prior experiences with ICAM, knowing ICAM’s flexibility, ICAM’s experience level of quality, commitment and experience, we realized no other post- processor would be as flexible and agile as we require. We have three CAM packages utilized at our facility in Shippensburg. We wanted one solution for three packages. Here at Shippensburg, we currently have active licenses for Wildfire IV Pro-Manufacturing, Mastercam X3, and Siemens NX6. We know that CATIA is in our foreseeable future."

"We selected ICAM as our partner for the future growth of our facility because of its commitment to quality, customer service (both in customer support and product development), flexibility to interface with our multiple CAM packages and ICAM’s ability to deliver customized multi-axis post-processors in a short period of time."

"In the past year, ICAM’s commitment to customer service and quality has been exemplary - from dealing with support on our custom post- processor development to requesting a license server that could be utilized on a virtual machine. I know if I phone support my issues will be solved by the end of the day."

"The management at ICAM should be proud of their employees for their responsiveness, courteousness and professionalism at every level of their staff."

"It is my pleasure to recommend ICAM to other professionals and programmers whenever the possibly arises and I look forward to continuing our partnership into the future."

"ICAM was suggested by SIEMENS when our Wotan machines with 840D controls were purchased. We chose to stay with the generic post we had been using, because we didn't think that other post-processing solutions had anything more to offer. By delaying the purchase of ICAM's post we hindered our use of the machines for the first 4 years we have owned them. We had limited use of CYCLES and tool length offsets among other features. The turning point was a visit to GKN St. Louis where the ICAM product is used extensively. Most impressive is ICAM's DST 5-axis HS machines."

"Now ICAM's CAM-POST product allows us to program without including a preset tool length; we can use CYCLE statements in any head orientation. While the CYCLE implementation sounds minimal it is in effect huge, with the old method we had to create point to point drill cycles. Tapping at a compound angle wasn't even considered, now it is easy. During swarf milling operations we were again hampered by preset tooling, backing the machine up to make a small adjustment was nearly impossible. Replacing a tool was an adventure, we use heat shrink holders, these are difficult to accurately preset. Frequently we had to repost for new tool lengths."

"ICAM allows us to use the controllers' TRAORI function which in turn allows us to do away with preset tooling. Small adjustments are easily done by adding to the wear offset in the controller. "

"Like many companies these days, we changed ownership a few years ago.  As part of the transition we lost our mainframe based CAM system and about 15 in-house developed, FORTRAN based post-processors.  On top of that we had to make the transition in three months!  We selected ICAM based on its proven track record and flexibility to handle the post-processing work for our new Pro/NC CAM system."

"With the tremendous customization capabilities of ICAM, along with excellent customer support, we were able to rapidly develop a number of post-processors under extreme time pressure.  There were a wide variety of machine and controller combinations to support and ICAM certainly provided the flexibility that we needed for a smooth transition."

Manufacturing Process Lead, 787 Program
Boeing Winnipeg

“ICAM is our selected technology partner, because of the magnitude of their experiences with advanced multi-axis post-processors, expert knowledge of CATIA V5, current relationships with 787 Program suppliers and their in-depth understanding of our unique programming objectives.”

Dave Frank
NC Programming Lead
FMI

“I found that the CAM-POST product was able to do everything I wanted to do and even more. The application staff is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, supportive and professional. In times of crisis, the sales and development team quickly responded to our needs.”

“FMI’s move to ICAM’s technology and support resources ensures our manufacturing infrastructure is operating at peak performance. This allows FMI to consistently meet the operational and competitive effectiveness that our valued Aerospace customers demand.”

"ICAM provided Kohler with an extremely talented Engineer, without whom, we would have continued to make edits after posting. ICAM's CAM-POST is so flexible that together we were able to create highly adaptive posts for our CNC machines. Today we post and forget about it."
