Mastercam, CAD/CAM software provider and part of the Sandvik Group, reports completion of a strategic acquisition of the CAM business line of MLC CAD Systems, a longtime channel partner with decades of CAD/CAM industry expertise.
MLC CAD Systems has served as a Mastercam Channel Partner for over 40 years, delivering CAD/CAM solutions and technical support to manufacturers in the western and southwestern parts of the United States. This acquisition integrates MLC CAD Systems’ regional knowledge and customer relationships directly into Mastercam’s operations, enhancing service delivery and responsiveness across strategic markets. MLC CAD Systems will continue to collaborate with Mastercam as a technical solutions provider, with a focus on other complementary suite of design and manufacturing solutions.
“This isn’t just about growth—it’s about building stronger connections with manufacturers throughout the Western and Southwestern United States,” says Russ Bukowski, president of Mastercam. “By bringing together MLC CAD Systems’ CAM know-how and Mastercam’s worldwide reach, we’re making sure customers get quicker, more personalized support that truly fits their needs.”
By transitioning from a traditional channel partner model to direct operations in these regions, Mastercam can now offer customers immediate access to technical expertise, accelerated problem resolution, and customized training programs delivered by in-market specialists who understand local manufacturing requirements and industry practices, the company reports.
This move aligns with Mastercam’s broader growth objectives of combining organic innovation with targeted acquisitions to expand market reach and enhance customer service capabilities. As part of Sandvik’s digital manufacturing portfolio, Mastercam continues to advance connected manufacturing processes and provide comprehensive support to manufacturers worldwide.
