PASCAM did showcase it's integrated woodworking CAD/CAM solutions for the first time in the U.S.A. at the International Woodworking Machinery & Furniture Supply Fair, from August 20th - 23rd 2008 in Atlanta, Georgia, generating big interest in our powerful and innovative solutions.
Hosted by our PASCAM Sales Representative for the North American market, Barry Feltham from Millworks Software the exhibition and live demonstration of our software solutions and services produced a vast number of valuable and qualified leads on this side of the Atlantic.

We would like to thank Mr. Kühnel from our CAM-Partner GTR GmbH who was present during the whole runtime of the trade fair as an associate exhibitor, demonstrating the brand-new integrated nesting solution he developed for our woodworking CAM solution PASCAM Bea.

At the IWF 2008 we introduced the integrated, brand-new, nested based machining solution 'GTR Nest Management powered by PASCAM Bea', developed by our CAM partner GTR, for the first time to a bigger audience. In particular we did showcase the quick modeling and re-modeling process for dimensional customization of a case cabinet model, as well as the efficient PASCAM CNC coupling by PASCAM Bea. To generate the CAM machining program the model is dissolved into its individual components and transferred to the GTR nesting module. The GTR nesting module then generates the machine-specific CNC programs from the originally machine-neutral CNC information delivered by PASCAM Bea to control any CNC-machining centers. It also arranges the nesting of the individual assembly components in a time-optimized and/or material-optimized manner for the machining on the raw particle board sheet.
See here for more detailed information to this powerful enhancement to our CAM solution PASCAM Bea.

Due to a ban on photography at the whole show there are only a few pictures to document our exhibition booth at the International Woodworking Machinery & Furniture Supply Fair 2008:

Nevertheless the visitor turnout was overwhelming and we expect good results in the post-fair business from buyers, new prospects and contacts we could successfully generate at this venue. In this spirit we would like to thank every visitor, prospect and buyer who turned up at hall B-1 / booth # 4043 and let us show our tools for more engineering efficiency in woodworking at the IWF 2008 in Atlanta.
