Shawn Devaney, Chief Revenue Officer for TriMech, said TriMech’s manufacturing experts carefully evaluated CAM solutions and chose to partner with SolidCAM, based on its ease of use, features, and seamless integration in Dassault Systèmes’ SOLIDWORKS CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software.

“Adding SolidCAM to TriMech’s wide offering of products and services increases our ability to meet the evolving, enterprise-wide needs of our manufacturing clients. And our two teams are a good fit – we both share a strong dedication to helping clients get better every day.”

SolidCAM software provides top usability for SOLIDWORKS designers

For 40 years, SolidCAM has focused its R&D on CAM innovation, providing advanced solutions for CNC machining that deliver smooth integration and time-saving automation within SOLIDWORKS. All machining operations can be defined and verified without leaving the CAD environment; when a user changes a design, machining toolpaths recalculate automatically. Using SolidCAM improves communication among SOLIDWORKS designers, CAM programmers, and shop floor CNC operators.

Working faster for maximum productivity

SolidCAM software is used across all industries, including aerospace, automotive, defense, medical, machine design, optics, consumer products, and mold, tool, and die. Clients range from small job shops to large manufacturing businesses and include technical training institutions.

Devaney explained that with CNC machines getting more complex, and part customization becoming more common, powerful CAM programming is critical for success.

“Manufacturers face ever-increasing demands to keep costs down and increase speed, so every minute counts. With faster CAM programming and shorter machining cycle times, every CNC machine is operating to the fullest.”

SolidCAM’s partnerships with CNC machine manufacturers ensure that the software supports the latest equipment and manufacturing processes. It supports all CNC technologies, including the most advanced multi-channel mill-turn and Swiss-type CNC machines. Its patented iMachining technology saves 70% or more in machining cycle time and dramatically increases the lifespan of the cutting tool. The unique iMachining Wizard provides optimal feeds and speeds for every point of the toolpath.

Deeper into the North American market

TriMech is part of The TriMech Group, a collection of established brands serving designers, engineers, and manufacturers, and operating in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and Europe’s Nordic regions. The Group’s footprint in North America is unparalleled, with TriMech in the U.S. and Javelin in Canada.

Ken Merritt, SolidCAM’s Chief Operations Officer, said that having TriMech sell and support SolidCAM throughout North America sets the stage for more manufacturers of all sizes – and across all industries – to benefit from SolidCAM’s features and ease of use.

“TriMech’s client base includes thousands of manufacturers, machine shops, machinists, and CNC programmers and operators. SolidCAM software can improve their day-to-day work, their department’s performance, and their overall business success. Interest in SolidCAM is growing in North America and momentum is building. It’s the perfect time to spread the word about SolidCAM through TriMech and Javelin.”

On February 24th, Andrea Bevill, Heather Dawe-Rose, Brandi Groth, and Tracy Wettig traveled to State College, PA, to conduct three breakout sessions for middle and high school students, teaching them about 3D Printing, Computer-Aided Design (CAD), and what it means to work as an engineering team.

During each session, students were introduced to several types of 3D printers and were given their own 3D printed Mars Rover kit using powder bed 3D printing Selective Absorption Fusion (SAF) technology printed by TriMech, with materials kindly donated by our partners at Stratasys.

The students were divided into teams and tasked with creating the “rover of the future” using SOLIDWORKS configurations and assemblies. First, the students virtually customized and created their rover using SOLIDWORKS. Then, using handheld 3D printers, they took their 3D printed models and designed their unique rovers.

During the ENVISION event, representatives from the Eberly College of Science Office of Science Outreach reported, “Participants enjoyed the hands-on activities at ENVISION and appreciated the workshops where they explored various topics and job possibilities in STEM.” At the end of each session, TriMech engineers led a discussion on how projects rely on engineering teams with different specialties and backgrounds to turn an idea into reality. TriMech had engineers from our Application Solutions, Professional Services, and Client Success Team representing at the event. They were able to explain how all three teams, along with other outstanding TriMech team members, work together to help clients create new and exciting products every day.

Teaching is at the heart of TriMech, offering over 50 training courses spanning a variety of technologies and programs, including SOLIDWORKS and 3D printing.

The AODA was passed by the Ontario legislature in 2005, with the goal of creating a fully accessible Ontario by 2025.

AODA Section 1:

“Recognizing the history of discrimination against persons with disabilities in Ontario, the purpose of this Act is to benefit all Ontarians by,

(a) developing, implementing and enforcing accessibility standards in order to achieve accessibility for Ontarians with disabilities with respect to goods, services, facilities, accommodation, employment, buildings, structures and premises on or before January 1, 2025; and

(b) Providing for the involvement of persons with disabilities, of the Government of Ontario and of representatives of industries and of various sectors of the economy in the development of the accessibility standards.”This policy applies to either temporary or permanent disabilities,

TriMech Solutions LLC is committed to excellence in serving all clients including persons with disabilities.

The following are the policies and procedures developed by TriMech Solutions LLC to comply with the AODA.

Part 1: The client Service Standard

As of January 1, 2012, all businesses and non-profit organizations in Ontario with one or more employees are required to comply with the Accessibility Standards for client Service (Ontario Regulation 429/07). There are two components to this regulation:

Create an “Accessible client Service Plan” which outlines how their business will provide service to clients with disabilities. This includes identifying potential barriers and figuring out new ways to work around them.

Train staff to provide accessible client service.

In addition, our company must report to the Ministry of Economic Development annually beginning December 31, 2012, indicating how and when our employees were trained.

At TriMech Solutions LLC we are committed to the principals of independence, dignity, integration and equal opportunity for all. We have taken steps identify potential barriers for people with disabilities and take steps to work around them. A barrier is anything that keeps someone with a disability from fully participating in all aspects of our society.

We will ensure our employees make room for assistive devices such as wheelchairs, walkers, oxygen tanks or Seeing Eye dogs. Our workplace recognizes the need to permit service animals to be able to access our facilities, and where prevented by law, alternate arrangements can be made. We also are aware that support persons will often accompany persons with disabilities; we welcome them in our establishment just as we would any other client.

Where possible, there are no impediments to the free movement of people with assistive devices in our workplace. If a person with a disability requires an assistive device to access our services, we will familiarize ourselves with its use.

We will let our clients know about accessible features such as accessible washrooms. If there is a reason why accessible services may not be available for a period of time due to renovations, or any other reason, we will clearly communicate that to our clients including the reason for the disruption, length of time and alternate arrangements which are available in the meantime.

As always, we welcome the feedback of our clients verbally, on paper, or electronically. Management will typically respond to this feedback right away.

Under the client Service Standard, we commit to:

Establish policies, practices and procedures on providing goods or services to people with disabilities.

Use reasonable efforts to ensure that policies, practices and procedures are consistent with the core principles of independence, dignity, integration and equality of opportunity.

Set a policy on allowing people to use their own, personal assistive devices to access goods and use services and any other measures the organization offers (assistive devices, services, or methods) to enable employees or clients to access goods and use services.

Communicate with a person with a disability in a manner that takes into account his or her disability.

Allow people with disabilities to be accompanied by their guide dog or service animal in those areas of the premises the company owns or operates that are open to the public, unless the animal is excluded by another law. If a service animal is excluded by law, other measures to provide services to the person with a disability must be used.

Permit people with disabilities who use a support person to bring that person with them while accessing goods or services in premises open to the public or third parties.

Where admission fees are charged, provide notice ahead of time on what admission, if any, would be charged for a support person of a person with a disability.

Provide notice when facilities or services that people with disabilities rely on to access or use our goods or services are temporarily disrupted.

Train staff, volunteers, contractors and any other people who interact with the public or other third parties on the company’s behalf, and who are involved in developing company policies, practices and procedures on the provision of goods or services, on the topics outlined in the client service standard.

Establish a process for people to provide feedback on how the company provides goods or services to people with disabilities and how we will respond to any feedback and take action on any complaints. The information about the feedback process must be readily available to the public.

Policy

Assistive Devices

Assistive technology is a term used to describe the various forms of devices such as assistive, adaptive, and rehabilitative devices used to assist persons with disabilities. These devices are used to support the needs of the individual person and specific disability by enabling them to perform tasks that they may not have been able to accomplish formerly.

Examples of assistive devices include hearing aids, speech amplification devices, white canes, wheelchairs, screen readers, etc. Ontario Employers are not responsible for providing any assistive devices under the client Service Standard, but rather, are responsible ensuring all employees are properly trained.

TriMech Solutions LLC will ensure that our staff is trained and familiar with various assistive devices that may be used by clients with disabilities while accessing our goods and services.

Communication

Accessible client service requires employees to overcome and find ways around different barriers that clients may have. Employers need to ensure that their employees are trained on how to successfully communicate with clients with disabilities to ensure accessible goods and services.

TriMech Solutions LLC employees will communicate with people with disabilities in ways that take into account their disabilities.

Service Animals

With certain types of disabilities, an animal may be more of an assistive form of aid rather than a device. These services animals are trained to carry out certain tasks that help people with disabilities. There are three types of assistive animals that have been categorized by the international assistance animal community:

Guide Animals: Used to guide the blind

Hearing Animals: Used to help signal the hearing impaired

Service Animals: Used to do work for persons with disabilities other than blindness or deafness

Under the client Service Standard, services animals must be allowed on parts of the workplace premises (excluding certain areas such as a kitchen). TriMech Solutions LLC will welcome people with disabilities and their service animals into our workplace.

Support Persons

Support persons are those that help persons with disabilities perform day to day tasks. Without support, the person may not be able to access the organization. All support persons should be welcomed into the workplace.
A person with a disability who is accompanied by a support person will be allowed to have that person accompany them on our premises. TriMech Solutions LLC will notify clients of this through a notice posted on our premises.

Notice of Temporary Disruption

Sometimes accessibility features or services require repair or are just temporarily unavailable. The client Service Standard requires employers to communicate this to their clients by posting a notice.

In the event of a planned or unexpected disruption to services or facilities for clients with disabilities TriMech Solutions LLC will notify clients promptly.

A clearly posted notice will include information about the reasons for the disruption, its anticipated length of time and a description of alternative facilities or services, if available.

The notice will be placed at our premises located at 585 Michigan Drive, Unit #4, Oakville, ON L6L 0G1

Disclaimer

The customer acknowledges the following limitations of the prototypes supplied by TriMech Solutions, LLC.: (a) a prototype is not a precise replica, but only a geometric representation that is not exact in terms of size, material composition and surface quality; (b) each prototype is for visual purposes only and is not intended for functional testing, tooling, use as a fixture, or any actual use; and (c) any uses that the customer makes of a prototype are entirely the customer’s responsibility unless otherwise acknowledged by TriMech Solutions, LLC., in writing.

All prototypes are guaranteed to be free of manufacturing defects. Orders may be cancelled only if the production of prototypes has not begun. TriMech Solutions, LLC., should be notified as soon as possible in the event of a desired order cancellation. Best attempts are made to produce prototypes within the estimated ship date but, because of the nature of custom part fabrication, occasionally the manufacturing of the prototype(s) can take longer.

If TriMech Solutions, LLC., is unable to meet customer’s reasonable satisfaction, and the customer notifies TriMech Solutions, LLC., within two business days of receiving such prototype, the customer may return the prototype at their own expense and receive a full refund of the fees for that Prototype (exclusive of taxes and charges). Failure to return a prototype within the two business day period shall be deemed acceptance of the prototype by the customer.

Orders

Once confirmation, electronic or otherwise, of an order has been received by TriMech, the order is binding. Due to the complex nature of prototypes, TriMech Solutions, LLC., reserves the right to reject any order for any reason.
