In February 2024, CloudNC released a new update to CAM Assist, our tech solution that accelerates CNC programming, saving manufacturers 300 production hours a year.

The update means CAM Assist can now produce machining strategies for 3+2 axis components as well, greatly increasing its utility for manufacturers and CAM programmers around the world.  into the world, making it available for CAM programmers everywhere.

The media response to the update has again been exceptional, as the world’s press is taking notice of what our updated solution represents to the industry. (You can see previous round-ups here and here).

New 3+2 highlights include:

- Coverage in leading US machining publication Modern Machine Shop, as well as its sister publication Modern Machine Shop Mexico. US publication Digital Engineering also covered our new reseller agreement in North America with DSI, which makes it even easier for machinists to get started with CAM Assist.

- In the UK, the major manufacturing publications all covered the news, including coverage in Machinery, Develop3D, Production Engineering Solutions, Aerospace Manufacturing, and Manufacturing Management.

- The tech press is also starting to cover what CAM Assist means to the manufacturing industry - here’s an in-depth interview with Theo Saville in the FT’s technology magazine Sifted, which states that AI ‘is revolutionising the biggest industry you’ve never heard of’, as well as coverage in business technology publication Business Cloud.
