Act Now and Protect Your Investment

Keep Your Shop Running at Peak Productivity

You may not have realized that your Mastercam X was released nearly a decade ago. Computers have vastly evolved during this time and today’s CAD/CAM technology has taken advantage of those improvements. By not keeping your Mastercam system current, you are missing out on all the advances — not the least of which are dramatically increased processing speed, ease of use, shorter cycle times, and machining flexibility.

If you are a customer running Mastercam X, now is the time to update your software. With the release of Mastercam X6 (coming in Fall 2011) Mastercam X will no longer be supported and you will not be able to update without buying at full price. By updating now you avoid having to repurchase the software. And, as operating systems advance, older software runs the risk of not running in these new environments. We frequently hear from customers using older Mastercam versions that have upgraded their computers only to find out that their older version of Mastercam will no longer run on these new systems. If you don't act soon you will lose your valuable investment in Mastercam!

Here's a small peek at just one of the powerful tools added since Mastercam X that can bring your shops to new levels of efficiency.

Still Using Version 9?

If you own Mastercam X, but you're still using Version 9 you're in luck. Because you own Mastercam X, you are still eligible to upgrade to the current version. And that transition is easier than you think. We'll even give you a free online course to help smooth the transition to the new platform.
