Icam Technologies Corporation

ICAM Technologies Corporation is a privately owned company with
headquarters in Montreal, Canada. Founded in 1971, ICAM started
as a service organization focused primarily on NC Programming and other related consulting services for the aerospace industry. As the market and demand grew for post-processing software, an in-house research and development
department was added.


Based on APT technology, ICAM began creating and developing
stronger, and even more sophisticated products to meet the needs of its growing client base. The first commercial version of ICAM's post-processor development tool CAM-POST was released in 1983. It supported the most common machine controls, including full five-axis machines. As the demand for NC Post-processing technology increased, ICAM invested heavily in research and development,which generated innovative features such as a powerful macro language and support for Multi-axis lathes in 1987. In 1991, a revolutionary
motion post-processor was incorporated, and support for
Mill/Turn centers, Wire EDM, and Punch Presses were added to CAM-
POST, which was quickly becoming the standard post processing
solution for the largest manufacturers around the world. In 1993, the windows-like environment took shape with such
additions as full mouse support, multi-language support, and a
large library of basic post-processors. ICAM created and developed ARC fitting, various CAD/CAM interface kits, on-line documentation and support for the Windows environment.More recently, ICAM introduced an entirely new NC post development concept tool called Rapid Macro Development (RMD). In addition, ICAM has also introduced a High Speed Machining functionality, DMIS support, and three-dimensional cutter compensation.


CAM-POST Version 11.0 released in 1997 incorporated an entirely
new window front-end, which made it easier to use both the GENER
and QUEST features, which allow the user to actually create his
own post processing solution.


CAM-POST 2000 released in Y2K introduced a powerful graphical
user interface tool called The Wizard, which allows users with
all levels of expertise to create an unlimited number of NC Post-
processors in record time.


2001 marked the release of CAM-POST 2001. CAM-POST 2001
introduced of a fully automated Coordinate Frame Transformation
feature, which enables the use of 2 D cycles and controller
feature on canted surfaces.


Virtual Machine released in 2002 unites ICAM's advanced NC Post-
Processing software CAM-POST with graphical machine tool
simulation to create a single integrated solution... Graphic NC
Post-Processing.
ICAM's success can also be attributed to the company's focus on customer service and support. Where and when a client has had
special needs, ICAM has always positioned the challenge as an
opportunity to develop new solutions, thus staying ahead of
shifts in the market. ICAM remains committed to working with
both Machine Tool and Control manufacturers, and CAD/CAM
companies to develop new leading edge products and ISO standards
whenever possible.


ICAM Technologies Corporation will always keep its growing suite
of products and services ahead of the market.
