COFES stands for the Congress on the Future of Engineering Software. This is an annual event held since 2000. This event brings together not only the big players involved with engineering software, such as Autodesk, Dassault and Siemens, but also many smaller or even start up companies.

Conferences such as this allow companies that ordinarily may be competitors, to share data valuable to the industry as a whole. Data such as; the best way to communicate with customers, new ways to train users, how to stimulate innovation, what customers are really asking for and much more.

Sescoi was pleased to participate in its second COFES conference. We were unique in that we were the only company in attendance that generates a large portion of revenue on CAM software, versus just CAD software. One thing that was stressed by some keynote speakers was the importance of manufacturing to the economy. We feel our presence allows us to provide a voice on behalf of our customers on their manufacturing needs. Also, to remind everyone that without CAM, there is no tooling, and no way to make those parts designed in CAD.

Throughout 2011 and 2012, you will see that we will be providing not only great CAM software, but also information that can be helpful to you to help you with regards to manufacturing.
