Customizing Tools
Online
As part designs become increasingly

efficient manufacturing. This
frequently demands that a machine
shop tailor its cutting tools to the
specific job at hand.

Be more flexible
Work purely within ArtCAM Pro or
bring artwork and data in from a
variety of sources including,
scanned images, imports from other
software and paint packages,
digitised data, laser scanned data,
CAD surface models. Output your
finished work to machine tools,
rapid prototyping machines or print
high quality rendered images.

ERP System Keeps New Work Center
Fully Loaded
It's difficult for a small,
specialized machine builder doing
$1.5 million in sales annually to
buy a $100,000 machine tool, then
keep it fully loaded and realize a
good return on investment without
upsetting the workload throughout
the shop—especially with the current
manufacturing slowdown. But that's
what Ontario Sewing Automation
(Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada) has
managed to do.

CRM: pay attention to retention
Customer relationship management
(CRM) has been getting a lot of
flack lately. But there's nothing
inherently wrong with the
technology. Enterprises have just
been ignoring customer retention
strategies.
