Delcam adds to N. American support team

Windsor, Ontario, Canada – Delcam officials are pleased to announce a further expansion of its North American support resources with the addition of Cory Barrette, Michael Belanger, and Jonathon Artiss to the post-sales support team for Delcam North America, adding more than 40 years of extra toolmaking experience to the team. The appointments continue the growth of Delcam’s North American staff in response to the increasing demand for the company’s CAD.CAM software.

Before joining Delcam, Cory Barrette had spent more than 18 years in the tool and mold industry in a variety of companies in the Windsor area. He gained experience in using a variety of CAM systems, including Delcam’s PowerMILL and FeatureCAM software, to program many different types of machine tool.

Since completing his apprenticeship in 2001, Michael Belanger has worked as a CNC machinist in two of the largest toolmaking companies in Ontario, Active Burgess Mold & Design and Integrity Tool & Mold. For most of that time, he was using PowerMILL for 5-axis and high-speed machining. In addition to his programming responsibilities, Belanger also assisted in the training of new employees.

Jonathan Artiss began his career with a manufacturer of custom furniture. He moved into toolmaking in 2005, becoming skilled at creating 3D models from prints and programming the manufacture of molds, slides and inserts. Artiss gained his formal qualification as a machinist from St. Clair College in 2010.

Commenting on the latest appointments, Gordon Maxwell, application support manager at Delcam North America, said, “I am pleased to announce the addition of three extremely talented individuals to our support team. Between them, Cory, Michael, and Jonathan have more than 40 years’ experience in programming and toolmaking. I am confident that they will help our growing number of customers to become even more productive with their Delcam software.”
