Optomec and Autodesk’s Delcam Enter into Global Sales Partnership for Advanced Software

Enhancements Expand Aerosol Jet Capabilities for Fully Printed 3D Electronics

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 12, 2016Optomec, a leading global supplier of production grade additive manufacturing systems for 3D printed electronics, and Delcam, an Autodesk company, one of the world's leading suppliers of advanced CADCAM solutions for the manufacturing industry, have entered into a global sales partnership whereby Optomec will sell and support Delcam products in conjunction with sales of its Aerosol Jet systems for 3D printed electronics.

Beginning in 2015, the companies commenced development activities to enhance Delcam’s FeatureCAM software to support Optomec’s Aerosol Jet five-axis system for 3D printed electronics. This collaboration brings together Delcam’s industry leading additive manufacturing software expertise with Optomec’s industry leading 3D printed electronic technology to address next generation electronics manufacturing challenges. The end result enables Delcam software to create additive five-axis tool paths that drive Aerosol Jet systems to print sensors, antennas and other functional electronics virtually anywhere onto mechanical structures maximizing design and manufacturing flexibility for a new generation of smart devices.
