SANDVIK has announced the acquisition of Postability, a Canadian-based software firm developing NC (numerical control) post processors for Mastercam.
Postability will be a part of business unit Mastercam and is tipped to strengthen Sandvik’s portfolio of Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) solutions.
The firm’s software solution includes CAM post processing, machine simulation and maintenance, enabling customers to improve and validate component designs.
“The acquisition of Postability fits very well with our strategic focus to grow in the digital manufacturing space, and is an important complement to our CAM solutions offering,” said Stefan Widing, president and CEO of Sandvik. “Post processing plays a vital role in the CAM process, enabling new and innovative solutions in the automated design for manufacturing.”
