Optomec and Delcam have entered into a global sales partnership whereby Optomec will sell and support Delcam products in conjunction with sales of its Aerosol Jet systems for 3D printed electronics.

Optomec is a leading global supplier of production grade additive manufacturing systems for 3D printed electronics, and Delcam is an Autodesk company a supplier of CADCAM solutions for the manufacturing industry.

In 2015, the companies began developments to enhance Delcam’s FeatureCAM software to support Optomec’s Aerosol Jet five-axis system for 3D printed electronics. The collaboration brings together Delcam’s additive manufacturing software expertise with Optomec’s 3D printed electronic technology to address electronics manufacturing challenges.  The end result enables Delcam software to create additive five-axis tool paths that drive Aerosol Jet systems to print sensors, antennas and other functional electronics virtually anywhere onto mechanical structures maximizing design and manufacturing flexibility for smart devices. This collaboration builds upon the recent strategic investment Optomec received through Autodesk’s Spark Fund that supports ideas that push the boundaries of 3D printing.

“The core synergies between Delcam and Optomec will help us achieve more than we could if working independently, said Mike O’Reilly, Optomec –Director, Aerosol Jet Product Management. Together, we are placing an emphasis on innovation and collaboration to solve next generation manufacturing challenges of smart devices for consumer electronics, automotive, medical and industrial internet of things (IoT) applications.
