Camarillo , Calif. - June 25, 2009 - The latest version of computer-aided-manufacturing (CAM) software created by CAM industry leader DP Technology will be on display July 15-17, when ESPRIT^® 2009 will be featured at the third annual North American Haas Technical Education Center (HTEC) Conference, in Greensboro, N.C.

      Hosted at the Guilford Technical Community College, the conference will feature 12 different educational presentations profiling programs and the best machining practices found in North America.

      Designed with ease of use in mind, ESPRIT 2009 emphasizes the use of milling or turning in any combination and on any type of machine tool, which means that most improvements to the software are to the benefit of all programmers.
