Bobcad
BobCAD-CAM is a developer of CAD/CAM software for the CNC metalworking and manufacturing industry. Based in Clearwater, FL, BobCAD-CAM has a staff of approximately 85 employees. Since opening in 1985, they've developed a reputation in the industry as having one of the most powerful and affordable CAD-CAM software available.
==History==
BobCAD-CAM was created by Bob Twaalfhoven, who graduate from MIT in 1978 with an engineering degree. Twaalfhoven created the software as a means of bringing CAD/CAM technology to the personal computer. Before then, CAD/CAM software wasn't generally accessible to the masses.〔http://www.cadazz.com/cad-software-history.htm〕〔http://design.osu.edu/carlson/history/lesson10.html〕
Twaalfhoven originally sold his BobCAD-CAM software from the trunk of his car. He sold to manufacturing shops that wanted to automate their programming process but couldn't afford the massive price tag that accompanied traditional CAD/CAM Software in the mid-80's. Twaalfhoven opened his first office in San Jose, California in order to service the local manufacturing market. In the early 90's, BobCAD-CAM expanded to the East Coast where the company's second office opened in Clearwater, Florida.
The software was continually developed throughout the 90's, adding 2.5 axis milling toolpath features, 3 Axis Planar machine toolpath capabilities for solid models and CNC lathe programming capabilities. This proved to be a wise development move as machining STL models became more popular in the CAD/CAM field. In early 2002 the most significant developments to the software were made by adding Design Surface & Solid Modeling technology, releasing the first Artistic CNC software add-on as well as introducing the first ever training video products for customers to learn CAD/CAM from the comfort of their office. The San Jose location was closed due to expansion of the Florida office; one office was now capable of servicing the global markets easily. In 2007 with the organizational structure of BobCAD-CAM in excellent shape Twaalfhoven began primarily focusing on the development of his CAD/CAM software and rebuilding the product from the ground up. This led to the release of the Version 22 CAD/CAM software, the addition of Lathe, Nesting & Sheet Optimizing and a joint venture with Predator software to offer high level editing and simulation to his customers. Between 2007 and 2014 BobCAD-CAM software technology has taken the largest strides in its company history in the development and implementation of CNC machining technology. The company became a SolidWorks Gold Partner 〔http://www.solidworks.com/sw/products/search/results.htm〕with the release of the BobCAM for SolidWorks CAM add-on for SolidWorks users to be able to program their parts right inside of their design product, saving them time and increasing the workflow efficiency for SolidWorks customers. Recently releasing CAD/CAM software programming technology for 4 and full 5 Axis CNC milling hosting the first ever High Speed Adaptive Roughing strategy for multi-axis CNC milling ever.
