Software companies merge; CAM brand expands
Modern Machine Shop, Feb, 2006 by Shauna R. Steigerwald
DP Technology Corp. (Camarillo, California), developer of Esprit CAM software, has announced a strategic merger resulting from its cash acquisition of Italian software company Auton s.r.l. "With this merging of Italian design with American technology, DP Technology reinforces its commitment to CNC programmers to provide them with powerful CAM software," says Dan Frayssinet, DP Technology's chief executive officer. "This strategic merger provides our customers, employees, resellers and partners with greater opportunity, more strength and added security [in] their choice of Esprit."
Auton is the leading developer and supplier of CAM software for mold and model making in Italy. During the last 12 years, the company has built comprehensive technology within the areas of three-axis, five-axis and high speed machining. The Auton CAM system provides automated three-axis and five-axis machining cycles. Using knowledge of in-process stock, remaining material, and integrated simulation and verification, the software is said to deliver fast, safe and reliable programming for a variety of 3D machining applications.
Esprit's worldwide sales and support network will now have the machining capabilities of the Auton three-axis, five-axis and high speed machining technology available to serve its local markets. According to the company, the Auton community will benefit from the availability of the wire EDM, advanced production and multitasking mill-turn machining technology of Esprit.
DP's regional offices in Europe, Asia and America will coordinate the sales and support activities for both products. The combined companies will move forward with all of their existing personnel and two separate products marketed under the Esprit brand name. The products will retain their individual design, focus and development teams.
