GO2cam International

What GO2cam International does

GO2cam International is a French employee-owned software publisher specializing in Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software for CNC machine tools. Founded in Lyon in 2009 (with technology roots going back to 1991), the company develops its entire product line at its Lyon headquarters and distributes it via four wholly-owned subsidiaries in France, Germany, Switzerland and China plus authorized distributors in more than 15 countries. Its core products cover milling (2 to 5-axis), turning/TurnMill, Swiss-type lathe machining, and Wire EDM, with add-on modules for high-performance machining (millyuGO and turnyuGO), 5-axis expert, nesting, probing, machine-tool environment simulation, and a JavaScript API for custom integrations.

The technology stack centers on multi-patented high-performance machining cycles (millyuGO for milling and turnyuGO for turning) that maintain constant tool engagement and constant material removal rate, with the company claiming up to 80% machining time reduction. The platform is built on licensed technology from Parasolid (Siemens) for solid modeling, ModuleWorks for advanced 5-axis cycles, and MachineWorks for cutting simulation, and ships with certified post-processors for over 40 machine tool brands (DMG Mori, Mazak, Haas, Heidenhain, Fanuc, Citizen, Tsugami, etc.). Native CAD readers cover SolidWorks, Catia, Autodesk Inventor and PTC Creo, and a full add-in is offered inside SolidWorks. A separate dental product line (GO2dental, GO2cam CASM and the co-developed Iris Chairside Cadcam with C4W) serves dental prosthetics labs and clinics, and a robots module extends the same programming engine to industrial robots.

GO2cam's business model combines annual subscription licensing (Milling, Turning, Wire EDM each sold in 3-4 tiers from Basic to Expert, with à la carte add-ons), professional services (training, hotline technical support) and an OEM/tailormade white-label channel where the GO2cam engine is embedded into third-party machines such as those from Mecanumeric and Realmeca. Distribution combines direct sales through subsidiaries, authorized resellers with a dedicated portal, and a free 30-day self-service trial on the website. The company markets through trade-show presence (IMTS, AMB, EMO, Global Industrie), social media and an active content/news program, and is registered with French trade and innovation bodies (BPI France, French Fab, Cetim).
