TriMech Partners with SolidCAM

TriMech has a new partnership with SolidCAM, known for its CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) solution for user-friendly programming for all CNC manufacturing technologies, as well as its single-window integration and associativity with SOLIDWORKS.

Shawn Devaney, chief revenue officer for TriMech, says TriMech's manufacturing experts carefully evaluated CAM solutions and chose to partner with SolidCAM, based on its ease of use, features, and integration in Dassault Systèmes' SOLIDWORKS CAD (computer-aided design) software.

“Adding SolidCAM to TriMech's wide offering of products and services increases our ability to meet the evolving, enterprise-wide needs of our manufacturing clients. And our two teams are a good fit—we both share a strong dedication to helping clients get better every day.”

Usability for SOLIDWORKS Designers

SolidCAM has focused its R&D on CAM innovation, providing advanced solutions for CNC machining that deliver integration and automation within SOLIDWORKS. All machining operations can be defined and verified without leaving the CAD environment; when a user changes a design, machining toolpaths recalculate automatically. Using SolidCAM improves communication among SOLIDWORKS designers, CAM programmers, and shop floor CNC operators.

Devaney explains that with CNC machines getting more complex, and part customization becoming more common, powerful CAM programming is critical for success.

“Manufacturers face ever-increasing demands to keep costs down and increase speed, so every minute counts. With faster CAM programming and shorter machining cycle times, every CNC machine is operating to the fullest,” Devaney says.

Deeper into the North American market

TriMech is part of TriMech Group, a collection of established brands serving designers, engineers, and manufacturers, and operating in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and Europe's Nordic regions.

Ken Merritt, SolidCAM's chief operations officer, says that having TriMech sell and support SolidCAM throughout North America sets the stage for more manufacturers of all sizes—and across all industries—to benefit from SolidCAM's features.

“TriMech's client base includes thousands of manufacturers, machine shops, machinists, and CNC programmers and operators. SolidCAM can improve their day-to-day work, their department's performance, and their overall business success. Interest in SolidCAM is growing in North America and momentum is building. It's the perfect time to spread the word about SolidCAM through TriMech and Javelin.”

In the UK, TriMech Group's Solid Solutions is an established, successful reseller for SolidCAM. TriMech CEO Alan Sampson explains that through collaboration among the manufacturing/CAM experts at TriMech, Solid Solutions, and SolidCAM, a team of people can come together to solve client challenges.

“As always, clients of TriMech Group have access to more people, products, and services and can trust that TriMech will bring the right combination of tools to the job, along with timely, top-notch service and support.”

TriMech Group has been continually expanding and diversifying its service offerings to build a solution partner.

“We evolve and grow just as our clients do,” Sampson says. “SolidCAM is scalable as client applications evolve or production increases. And new partnerships like this one broaden the range of solutions TriMech can offer to clients, who are increasingly seeking more depth of expertise and expert guidance.”
