Bausch and Lomb Emphasizes Yearly Updates, Local Support as Reasons to Go With Mastercam Bausch and Lomb is dedicated to "perfecting vision and enhancing life." In order to achieve this goal, only the best CAD/CAM software can be used in conjunction with their machines. 15 years ago, Bausch and Lomb decided to make the switch to Mastercam and 15 years later, their satisfaction with the product is as high as ever.
We interviewed John DeMarco, Toolmaker at Bausch and Lomb, about Mastercam and how it has helped their optical manufacturing. When asked what he liked about Mastercam, Mr. DeMarco said, "One of the big things is that it's keeping up with the industry and our engineering software, like SolidWorks."
He went on to praise the support he is able to receive from OptiPro, a certified Mastercam training facility. Said Mr. DeMarco, "The biggest thing I like, frankly, is the support structure. We've called Chris (Mastercam technician at OptiPro) up with several really funky things that needed to occur and even if we don't fully understand how it occurred, we were able to make it work. The local support has been huge."
Mr. DeMarco concluded the interview by stressing the importance of high school students aspiring to become tool makers to learn Mastercam as soon as possible. "It only makes sense to learn on the most abundant software. Anybody in the industry that's going to hire somebody looks to see if they know Mastercam. For example, back in the day I knew a different type of software. Today, they would scratch their head and wonder what it was. We still have that one seat of mill lathe (with the other software) and it's just sitting there collecting dust. We stopped maintenance and everything on that software after one year of Mastercam."
