2009 New England SolidWorks User Conference - Westford, MA.

Sterling, MA - Recently Services Four Automation exhibited at the annual NESWUC conference in Westford, MA. There, they displayed the latest product from CNC Software's Mastercam for Solidworks. It was well received, as there was a lot of activity at the booth and during a luncheon presentation to show the newest version of MCfSW. During the show, attendees were able to come to the booth to get information and ask questions about MCfSW, when they did, they were entered into a drawing for a seat of MCfSW. There were many entries, with a winner picked at the end of the conference. The winner was Dave Carver from Manufacturing Technology Group in Westfield, MA. It came as a big surprise to Dave who at first thought he was receiving a prank or sales pitched call. Once we convinced him this was real, he was ecstatic. SFA hand delivered and installed the new software for his company. They have since taken training and are successfully using the product for production. We want to thank Dave for his interest in Mastercam and to CNC Software for allowing this to happen. You can learn more about Mastercam for SolidWorks by clicking here.
