CAM specialist Delcam has converted its Professional Services Group into an independent subsidiary, Delcam Professional Services, as part of an expansion planned for its manufacturing process development work.
The new subsidiary also includes the company's in-house manufacturing facility – formerly called the Tooling Services Division – which has been renamed, Delcam Advanced Manufacturing Facility.
Paul Wilkinson, formerly head of the Professional Services Group, and now general manager of the new subsidiary, says that the focus will stay firmly on increasing productivity, improving accuracy and shortening lead times.
Wilkinson joined Delcam as senior CAM consultant in 2002, after working as a software development director with Parametric Technology Corporation. Prior to working for PTC, he spent 15 years at Computervision, rising to software development manager.
The first of a series of appointments to Delcam's new subsidiary is Martin Boon, who has transferred from the Delcam UK sales team to become UK sales manager. Boon has been responsible for several large aerospace accounts that were already using Delcam's group services.
