Integration of 3th party CAM systems with ProE

Just read this in an interview with Jim Heppelmann :


“ ... I think some things are consolidating and some things are probably moving in the opposite direction; specialising. I actually don’t know if CAM is consolidating. I think there are more independent CAM vendors now than there were ten years ago and I think that’s because within CAM there are so many specialities that the products are becoming very sophisticated. If you bought one of the leading independent CAM products, they work with any CAD technology. The integration between CAM and CAD, even from different vendors, is good enough that it eats into the value proposition of buying it all from one vendor. ..."


Does anyone know about a decent integration between ProE Wildfire and a non-PTC CAM system?


TIA, Hugo.

    As of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 CL data and NC tape file are also managed with Windchill 10.0
