Delcam Officials Celebrate Record Visitor Numbers at IMTS

Officials at Delcam are celebrating a hugely successful week in Chicago at the recent IMTS exhibition, where a record number of visitors showed up to the company’s booth.

As well as proving a major talking point for show delegates, Delcam’s booth also won the award for “Unique Booth Exhibit” out of close to 2,000 exhibitors at the Show. 

“Anyone claiming that American manufacturing is deads hould have been on our booth”, said McMinn.  “They would have seen hundreds of companies that are keen to invest, that want to increase their production and that want to support America’s continued prosperity.”

IMTS 2012 attracted a total registration of over 100,000 visitors, a 21.6% increase over 2010, marking the largest show-to-show increase ever for the event.  Delcam’s results were slightly ahead of the show total, with a 25% increase in the number of leads generated.

“We made our biggest-ever investment in any exhibition at this year’s IMTS, with the largest booth of any of the CAM suppliers,” claims Delcam’s North America President, Glenn McMinn.  “Our record number of visitors confirmed that this investment was well worthwhile.  We will be generating sales from the Show for months and years to come.  Having our efforts recognised with the ‘Unique Booth’ award was the icing on the cake.”

Another highlight of the exhibition was the announcement of Delcam’s 40,000th customer – Lifetime Products Inc.  The company, which has recently purchased the PowerMILL and FeatureCAM systems, manufactures a number of outdoor products from swing sets and basketball hoops, to lawn furniture and storage sheds, to kayaks and tent trailers, all designed and manufactured largely in the United States.

A major contributor to Delcam’s success at IMTS was the launch of new releases of FeatureCAM and Delcam for SolidWorks, plus previews of new versions of PowerMILL PartMaker and ArtCAM. 

“Delcam employs the largest development team in the CAM industry,” says McMinn.  “The results of their efforts impressed all our visitors, both the potential customers that were looking to upgrade their existing software and our many current users that were excited to see the new enhancements they will receive in the coming months.”
