ModuleWorks is your Go-To partner for CAD/CAM software. From standard products to exclusive development projects, we work closely together with you as a partner to bring your own vision of Industry 4.0 to life. With our comprehensive product portfolio and cutting-edge software components, you can optimize your CAD/CAM solutions and successfully connect to CNC/MTB systems to rapidly increase your competitiveness.

ModuleWorks was founded by Dr. Yavuz Murtezaoglu in 2003 as a specialist software company and as an independent CAD/CAM component supplier offering industry-proven 5-Axis machining software. This was the spring board for the ModuleWorks success story and we soon established a strong reputation for delivering cutting-edge CAD/CAM solutions. ModuleWorks started with a small number of industry partners, but the strength of the technology and increasing worldwide demand for 5-Axis machining meant rapid growth and we soon had many additional partners and a rapidly expanding product base. To meet the growing demand for our technology, we steadily expanded our workforce and many of the people who drove our early success still occupy key positions in the company today.

In 2007, Dr. David Plater joined Yavuz on the board of ModuleWorks. With more than 20 years’ experience in the CAM industry, having worked for Delcam, MachineWorks and EdgeCam, he helped the company to grow. Company processes were established to ensure efficient development of high quality software. The products were extended to cover Simulation and 3-Axis Mesh-based machining and the range of partners expanded.

Today, we have more than 200 industry partners and over 500,000 installed seats of software around the world. To ensure our leading position at the cutting-edge of technological development, we invest heavily in R&D and now we have development centers in Germany, Romania, Ukraine and the UK. Our team is more than 200 strong with the vast majority focused purely on R&D. With over 1,000 person years of ongoing software development, we deliver our latest technological advances in 3 new releases each year. We have no end-user products, allowing us to dedicate our resources to meeting the needs of our partners.
