nccad .... has been developed for the contol of the coordinate-system KOSY. The machining of a workpiece, starting from the technical drawing is programmed by it. The sequence of activity is: make the drawing, edit the data of machining (technology), simulate graphically and control the machine. All these elements are part of nccad and easy to handle.

nccad in composed of several modules.....

• CAD
• CAM
• CNC
• Simulation
• Control
• Different versions are possible...

In spring 1991 we were fed up. We had always wanted to combine a CAD-program with CAM-modules to become a complete system. I twas necessary to find software developpers who supported our ideas.But we we did not find the right persons, so we made the decision to create our own software.

Our development team was highly motivated, financing was assured and our ideas of a complete software "From drawing to machining" was soon concrete. Late in summer 1991 the first version was realised. It is true, it had only a few functions, little comfort and was very slow, but it was accepted by our customers and it worked.

A year later, in autumn 1992, the critical initial phase was overcome. Our customers had told us clearly, what they missed and we have coninued working at full speed. Our "child" got a name then: nccad and it had learned how to walk (the market became bigger).

One version after the other was generated in the following years. The wishes of our customers and the progress in computer hard- and software have motivated us ever since. We have joined in the "revolution" like the transition to windows or to 32-bit operating systems and to fast computers, it has been a challenge for our software developpers.

Today, more than 15 years afterwards, we have got nccad7, a professional software not only for us and our CNC-machines, but also for other machine manufacturers and users. Our experiences have confirmed our decision from 1991: We were able to realise our ideas and nccad has been sold throughout the world more than 6000 times as so-called multiple licences and is used by ten of thousands customers. We are satisfied and can celebrate our jubilee. Let's start the new decade together with you, and say thank you to all our customers.
