JETCAM International

What JETCAM International does

JETCAM International s.a.r.l. is a privately held software vendor founded in 1986 that develops CAD/CAM and nesting software for the CNC sheet metal and composite materials manufacturing industries. Its core product, JETCAM Expert, performs true-shape nesting and generates post-processed machine code for multi-axis CNC cutting machines, while complementary modules extend the platform into material and job tracking (CrossTrack, including a dedicated CrossTrack for Composites variant), sheet metal unfolding, line automation, job order control (JOC Lite), and quoting/estimation (Express Estimator, QuickCost). The company also operates JETCAM University for training and certification, and offers a free V4 CAD Viewer as a lower-funnel entry point. JETCAM's product architecture is built around a proprietary nesting engine and a large library of machine-specific post-processors, which allow it to interface with CNC equipment from major original equipment manufacturers such as Bystronic and NUKON.

The company sells primarily through a global reseller network supplemented by direct enterprise sales and an OEM partner program that embeds JETCAM post-processors into CNC machine sales. Its revenue model combines one-time software licenses with recurring maintenance contracts, and pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed. JETCAM serves a mix of enterprise and SMB customers across sheet metal fabrication, aerospace composites, marine, and broader manufacturing, with named users including FETCO, LS Fabrications, Kingfisher Boats, and BIZ. The company is headquartered in Luxembourg with additional presence in Monaco and France, and operates with a small employee base of 11-50 people, consistent with a profitable, self-funded niche software business. Recent activity includes annual product releases (JETCAM Expert v25, JOC Lite v4, CrossTrack 6), reseller geographic expansion (Trekomp Maskinservice into Denmark in 2024), and a sustained composite-vertical product investment.
