• TekSoft®
  TekSoft provides both CamWorks - Gold Partner integrated machining for SolidWorks - and ProCAM, a modular standalone CAM package covering all major machining activities, from turning to 5-axis milling, including direct machining of solids.
• ANVIL-1000MD®
  Now at Version 5 for Windows 2000/NT/95/98, this simple but powerful 2D draughting package delivers the goods when the bottom line is drawing output.
• type3®
  Where conventional CADCAM leaves off, type3 takes over. type3 is a leader in the field of artistic CADCAM, enabling sculptured, contoured, engraved, and wrapped designs to be derived from artwork and applied to the 3D model for machining. type3 also comes in a simplified form called type3works - integrated into SolidWorks
• DesignSpace®
  DesignSpace from Ansys provides fast engineering analysis in an independent package, but capable of reading model data in the majority of popular CAD formats.  Its modular nature allows you to choose the optimum package for your analysis requirements.
• ANVIL VIEWER®
  A handy, lower-cost way of making CAD data available around a company, the ANVIL VIEWER package allows you to zoom, print, plot, and measure in 2D and 3D multi-sheet documents.  In addition to the ANVIL native formats, it will also read DXF, DWG, IGES, and VDA-FS files, making it a useful tool even in multi-system environments.
• Turnkey Systems and Peripherals
  Anvil MCS will package any of its software, plus office applications, plotters, printers, and networking, with a properly configured PC, to deliver you a fully working system on your desk without compatibility headaches. 

Anvil MCS Services

• Legacy Data Conversion
  Anvil MCS can take your paper drawings or old CAD data, and produce 3D models, CAD files, animations, RPs....or just new paper drawings. We can take in paper, IGES, DXF, DWG, VDA-FS, CADDS3, CADDS4X, and, of course, earlier revisions of ANVIL files, as the basis for new model or image work. If you have Anvil Express 3D files, and need conversions to other formats such as STEP, IGES, Parasolid etc, or Anvil1000 files to transfer to DXF or DWG, we can do that too - call us with your requirements.
• Design Consultancy
  If you don't have the resources to develop your product concept into a finished design, call on us to bring our CAD products to bear on the problem.  Past projects have ranged from sprayguns to simulators, with many different phases of the design to manufacture cycle being covered including RP, visual prototyping, paper drawings, and CNC data.
• Turnkey Systems
  If you want a single point of contact for hardware and software, and no compatibility problems, we can provide our CADCAM products pre-configured on PC's with office automation software, peripherals, and networking in a ready-to-run package.  We can supply either budget or brand-name items, 
• Application Consultancy
  So people keep telling you that CAD or CADCAM will improve your design to manufacture process, but you don't yet know enough about it to see where it fits into your organization.  We can advise you how, where, or even if it would benefit you (and, for the cynical, yes, we do sometimes say it won't help).
• Training
  We can provide training for all ANVIL products, at all levels from simple draughting to surface machining and modelling, to get the most out of your CADCAM investment.
