Azimuth CNC is the new identity for the machining side of Cad Cam Systems, Inc.

This has generated two questions from our customers.

  • First Question:
    Why the heck do you need a new name?

    Simply put, it has become an internet marketing world.

    Potential machining customers who google "precision or 5-axis machining" and see a response for Cad Cam Systems assume we only sell software and pass over our link. The name Azimuth CNC states more clearly we do CNC machining, so that confusion should be eliminated.

  • Second Question:
    OK, maybe a new name for your machining business makes sense, why Azimuth?

    Azimuth was the name of a very complex part that we machined.

    Because of a nondisclosure agreement we cannot tell you much about the part. We can tell you the aluminum billet weighed 900 lbs. when it arrived and only 23 lbs when we shipped the completed part. There were also some difficult features and tight tolerances that required our 5-axis expertise. The name of the part was "Azimuth".

    Upon completing the Azimuth project we knew we had arrived. We had found our way from a "machining laboratory" that is part of a CAD CAM reseller to a precision 5-axis machine shop that can successfully compete with any shop in the world.

    As it happens the root word of Azimuth means "the way taken by a traveler". It is a fitting name to describe our transition to a machining company. More importantly it is a fitting word to describe our continuing journey to provide better service and greater value to our customers.
