SUCCESS STORIES
The finest tribute a company can
receive is when its customers tell the world how our products helped them succeed. MCS
CAD/CAM systems have been helping companies succeed for more than 30
years, and we're
pleased to share some of those successes here.As you read, bear in mind that MCS's new flagship, ANVIL EXPRESS,
contains and builds on the strengths of its predecessor, ANVIL-5000. ANVIL EXPRESS
provides high-end functionality at a mid-range price, making it a superior value
compared to today's other CAD programs.

Timberline and Timberlite Knives, a line of custom and collectible knives. Equip has
created some of the most sough-after, innovative designs available using ANVIL software:
"Creating a functional,
esthetically pleasing shape for a knife handle requires the use of many different surface
types that can be intersected and blended together. A lot of CAD systems do not have that
kind of sophistication, but this is where ANVIL excels."

than likely sitting in an Irwin seat designed with ANVIL:
"We switched to the ANVIL
product line from another leading system because we found it to be the best 3-D design and
manufacturing system on the market today. We looked at all the others and this was just a
better choice for us."

Major Tool is an aerospace
and automotive tooling shop that can handle 2-axis through 5-axis machining. Major tooling
systems and finished parts are standard uses of ANVIL software at Major Tool:
"When our programmers learned
the ANVIL system, we began to see a whole new realm of possibilities for the types of
parts each one of them could create and the turnaround we could expect. We would have to
turn away half of our work now if we were restricted to our old language-based
programming."

Power Shift Production, Inc.
is the world's leading propeller manufacturer for airboats. Using ANVIL, PSP creates the
3-D model and then uses that to generate the tool path data which is sent to a 5-axis CNC
machine for manufacturing:
"Propellers are very demanding,
partially free-form shapes. Airfoils and pitch distribution must conform exactly to
predetermined constraints while blending to shanks. Also, the hubs must be free-form and
aesthetically pleasing. With ANVIL, we were able to create these exacting shapes, develop
accurate tool paths, and produce the molds to cast the composite propeller."

Arrow United Industries is a major manufacturer of HVAC products:
"ANVIL Express has one of the fastest learning curves I have ever witnessed. Our
new drafts people and designers can fully function using ANVIL Express in a
matter of days, not weeks or months like other CAD software. We are a major
manufacturer of HVAC products, and deal with mechanical and architectural
drafting. Anvil Express handles both without any problems. We have had excellent
success importing and exporting drawings between CAD platforms, the translators
are second to none! Our design to production time has been cut in half by the
use of ANVIL products. THANK YOU!"
