Free - SolidWorks CAM Post-Processor for Shapeoko CNC

Delta has acquired a Carbide 3D Shapeoko CNC router and we’ve already begun using it to build molds for insulating our refrigerators. A CNC (computer numerical control) router is a computer-controlled cutting machine used for cutting various hard materials. It helps to reduce the time spent in production and the frequency of errors, making it a very effective tool. We worked with Hawk Ridge Systems to develop a custom Post Processor to make Solidworks CAM work with the Shapeoko, allowing us to take parts straight from CAD to our router. You can find the post processor we helped to test here: https://hawkridgesys.com/products/cam/post-processors. Check out the time lapse to see a test cut of the Delta logo out of acrylic.

Thanks to everyone that came to our Grand Opening!

Guests had a chance to see what Delta is working on in new mobile refrigeration technology including some of our 3D printed, production components. Everyone also had a chance to walk inside our new shipping container refrigeration system in Virtual Reality!

Let us know if you didn't get to take home a 3D printed Delta ornament.

Delta COO shares his passion for life-saving engineering on ABC News

Delta COO Chris Bridgewater shares his passion for developing life-saving equipment for the US Military on KGUN9 ABC News.

Chris on what to consider when starting a business:

"First and foremost is passion. What I do and the reasons I do it for our customers ... the warfighters, it's a very personal thing to me. I was that warfighter. I was an enlisted man on the ground and I had bad equipment and things that didn't work and I'm working on products to solve that. So it's passion, you got to have this passion to drive you."
