In November of 2015 CIMCO A/S the makers of CIMCO Software products such as CIMCO DNC-Max, MDC-Max, CIMCO Editor and CIMCO MDM announced that version 8 would be release in 2016. While CIMCO has a very busy group of developers with updates made usually multiple times per week, so called “point releases” or new versions are generally every 1-2 years and include significant improvements to the entire product line. Version 8 is actually one of the largest leaps ahead and demonstrates the expanded development team and commitment to keeping CIMCO Software products at the leading edge of the computer integrated manufacturing industry. Customers with valid maintenance will have immediate access to this version when it becomes available to the marketplace.
Here is a current list of some of the items that you will see in CIMCO Software Version 8:
