CNC Software Inc., developer of Mastercam CAD/CAM software, has become a member of the Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center Research and Development (OMIC R&D).

OMIC R&D is a collaboration of national and international manufacturing companies and Oregon-based research universities who combine their knowledge, expertise, and resources to find applied solutions to the challenges facing manufacturing, while creating new opportunities for the future development of manufacturing.

Mastercam is CAD/CAM software designed for innovation, streamlined precision, and efficiency in manufacturing. The software empowers designers and NC programmers across a spectrum of industries, delivering manufacturing solutions for milling, turning, wire EDM, router programming, Swiss machining, plasma cutting, lasers, and 3D design and drafting.

Stas Mylek, partnership program manager for CNC Software Inc. said that the company immediately began discussing opportunities for Mastercam to engage in opportunities to introduce students to our premier programming language. "This collaboration also aligns well with our dedication to research and development aimed at manufacturing technology. Our partnership will most definitely play a part in setting the tenor for the future of manufacturing."

Craig Campbell, executive director of OMIC R&D said that CNC Software will provide the ability to add uniform programming language that "we can use on our broad range of machines, as well as opportunities in training and workforce development due to their investment in that area."
