CAD/CAM Connect Partners with MachineTools.com
Austin, TX (PRWEB) February 05, 2014 -- Industry-leading information hub CAD/CAM Connect today announced its partnership with MachineTools.com to further its mission of being an all-encompassing resource for customers. The new partnership is set to expand on current site offerings and provide a one-stop destination for information on CAD/CAM products, services, and vendors, as well as machine tools and fabrication equipment.
Historically, CNC machines, tooling and fabrication equipment and accessories are purchased directly from dealers. Over the past few years, the digital shift has moved the shopping habits of manufacturing companies – along with just about everyone else – to the online space. In turn, the industry landscape is continually evolving.
“We’re seeing a trend in the machine tool industry similar to car buying, where people go online to research, buy and sell,” said Ken Wilson, Founder-CEO of CAD/CAM Connect. “Buyers can filter by just about any relevant category, which drastically reduces the amount of time spent in the whole process. We want to address that need by making these functionalities available on our site.”
The new team-up with MachineTools.com is a strategic move by CAD/CAM Connect, propelling the company into the new year with a strong start. MachineTools.com represents the largest online marketplace for the metalworking industry, featuring over 222,000 new and used listings. The site also hosts a directory of relevant companies, events, consumer reviews, and wanted ads. Paired with CAD/CAM Connect, the duo offers a user-friendly interface for users with a wide variety of needs.
“Our goal has always been to make it easy for buyers to research, purchase, and save on CAD/CAM manufacturing products and services,” said Wilson. “Building an online destination that aggregates the best suppliers, educational content and experts in one place is what we’re all about. We’re doing it for CAM software, ERP, CAD training, reverse engineering, rapid prototyping and now CNC machinery, tooling and fabrication equipment. We selected MachineTools.com because they map up best with our mission of providing buyer’s choices on an easy-to-use platform with great customer support.”
"We are looking forward to this partnership to expand both our exposure to the CAD/CAM community while creating awareness to the informational assistance CAD/CAM Connect provides," said Stuart Carlin, Founder-CEO of MachineTools.com.
