ESPRIT CAM fulfills a growing need for powerful CAM software in India
DP Technology, creator of ESPRIT® computer-aided-aided manufacturing software, has increased its ability to support diverse manufacturing demands throughout India, where it opened a new office just few years ago.
Specifically, the DP India team, which now serves more than 250 customers throughout the country, has seen a significant increase in the number of manufacturers who require a powerful CAM system in the disciplines of Swiss-style and multi-tasking machining.
Like the rest of the world, India has the multi-tasking machine tool market grow as manufacturers strive to remain competitive while manufacturing increasingly complex parts.
“Despite a recent slowdown in the Indian economy we see bright spots in manufacturers taking the time to implement more efficient manufacturing solutions. At the core of this is ESPRIT and its ability to provide the backbone for digital manufacturing pipeline solutions. We expect our sales growth to top 30% annually for the next several years.” – Mike Lauer, GM, Asia DP Technology.
To better serve customers, DP remains appraised of the latest developments in machine tools and tooling, and works directly with major manufacturers. Among those manufacturers is Sandvik, with which the DP India team collaborated for the IMTEX industry event, which took place this year in Bangalore. We also have a partnership with Kennametal worldwide.
“We have great relations with Mori Seiki, Yamazen, Mazak, Tornos, Biglia, Galaxy, Hardinge, and more,” said Vikash Singh, Sales and Marketing Manager for DP India. “We were also in their booths at IMTEX.”
To provide a platform for greater support, DP India introduced the ESPRIT Engineer On-Site, or EEO, Program — a program through which DP India engineers are placed within customer businesses permanently, where they act as their employees until the software is fully implemented and understood — and the customer is completely satisfied.
DP India supports a successful group of wire EDM customers, such Michelin, Escorts India, and Crompton Greaves. ESPRIT provides a universal EDM contouring cycle to machine any contoured mold, die, core, cavity, shape or profile.
This versatile machining cycle supports any number of straight or tapered rough and skim cuts while optimizing wire cutting paths. Strategies for all styles of EDM machining such as punch, die, multi-cavity parts, and unattended machining are included. Between cuts ESPRIT automatically handles all the necessary wire-cut and wire-thread instructions, and part-handling functions of the machine: flushing, tank fill, and tank drain.
Led by our Technical Manager Mohamed Maitheen, DP India’s experienced technical team delivers top-notch direct customer support and includes an application engineer, Harish Muralidharan, stationed permanently within the Mori Seiki facility in Bangalore. As such, DP India provides custom support for users of both Mori Seiki machine tools and ESPRIT software. DP India’s technical team, which also includes Application Engineer Shivanaga Prakash consists of engineers who have earned master’s degrees in manufacturing & Automation from IIT Madras, and who are able to combine practical experience with extensive knowledge. Each engineer has experience working with machine tools and live test cuts.
“We thank you very much for your prompt support for training our team ESPRIT -CAM software. Also, for our new (and urgent) part development, you delivered “SolidMill software and post processor” well within time. We could deliver samples to our Customer before the scheduled date of despatch. Once again, I thank you very much for your continual support and we expect the same for our future projects.” – Makarand Dharmadhikari, Manager- Production, Orchid India Medisolutions Pvt. Ltd.
