Montreal, January 14, 1998 — ICAM Technologies Corporation , the CAD/CAM market’s leading developer of NC post-processing solutions, has signed a Marketing Alliance Agreement with Unigraphics Solutions, the world renowned developer and supplier of Unigraphics® CAD/CAM systems.

Under the agreement, ICAM will offer the best in-class NC post-processing solutions to complement the CAM manufacturing elements of Unigraphics. This new joint effort between Unigraphics Solutions and ICAM will help Unigraphics users to obtain superior solutions for today’s most demanding machining requirements.

“The signing of this agreement allows all Unigraphics users to acquire our leading edge technology more easily. It also demonstrates a new long-term commitment to those several hundred current Unigraphics users who have already chosen our technology for their long-term NC post-processing needs,” explains John Nassr Jr., President and CEO of ICAM Technologies Corporation.

ICAM ’s post-processing technologies are essential where quality design through manufacturing solutions are required. Working efficiently behind the Unigraphics line of NC products, CAM-POST, as well as individual custom post-processors provided by ICAM, has the important role of transforming the cutter location (CL) files generated from UG’s CAM system into the specific machine code that is required by all types of Numerically Controlled (NC) machinery.

UnigraphicsSolutions provides complete and advanced software solutions for the CAD/CAM/CAE market. Optimal individual productivity, superior process automation, and expert collaborative engineering have helped make Unigraphics one of the leading CAD/CAM tools on the market today. Along with its comprehensive Product Data Management and Implementation Services, Unigraphics stands alone in its ability to deliver the most advanced technology for the manufacturing workplace.
