What does the Morphos 3D and PMT partnership cover?
The partnership connects Morphos 3D's Dassault Systèmes work across SOLIDWORKS, CAD/CAM, PDM, and DELMIAWorks ERP and MES with PMT's CNC programming, simulation, verification, automation, training, and support. You can bring one focused problem or a handoff that crosses several systems. The first job is to identify where responsibility and data separate, not to assume the entire stack must be replaced.
Morphos 3D is joining Production Machining Technologies at IMTS 2026. Visitors can meet both teams September 14 through 19 at booth #135824 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
PMT's partnership announcement explains how its programming and production expertise connects with Morphos 3D's SOLIDWORKS, CAM, and DELMIAWorks work. The handoffs define the joint work: the model released to programming, the program verified against the machine definition, and the production job tied to materials, capacity, inventory, quality, and cost.
A manufacturing problem rarely respects software categories
A design change can alter a drawing, revision, setup, toolpath, fixture, purchasing requirement, and production schedule. A CNC programming issue may begin with model quality or a revision that reached the wrong programmer. An ERP discrepancy may trace back to how the item, BOM, routing, material, labor, scrap, or inspection event was defined upstream.
Those are different systems and often different owners. The useful question is not whether every application shares one logo. It is whether the correct data reaches the next person in a form they can trust, and whether the failure has an owner when it does not.
Where Morphos 3D fits
Morphos 3D supports manufacturers across the Dassault Systèmes portfolio. That may begin with a SOLIDWORKS design requirement, a review of CAD/CAM options, or an evaluation of DELMIAWorks manufacturing ERP and MES.
The scope can remain narrow. A design team may need better revision control without changing ERP. Another manufacturer may be ready to address planning, inventory, production, quality, or financial visibility while keeping its current CAD/CAM workflow. When the systems must connect, the evaluation needs to define the source of truth, the handoff, and the evidence that proves the receiving process has the right information.
Where PMT fits
PMT focuses on CNC programming, machining, simulation, verification, automation, implementation, and production support. Its current portfolio includes ESPRIT, NCSIMUL, WORKNC, SURFCAM, VISI, and DESIGNER.
The PMT contribution begins when the question reaches the programming and production environment: the machine and control, the post, the setup, the verification method, the operator, and the result required at the spindle. PMT also provides manufacturing software training for teams building capability around those workflows.
Use the starting problem to route the conversation
| Starting problem | Start with | Questions that may cross the handoff |
|---|---|---|
| SOLIDWORKS design, PDM, item, BOM, or revision control | Morphos 3D | What must programming receive, and which revision becomes authoritative? |
| CNC programming, toolpaths, posts, simulation, or verification | PMT | Is the issue in geometry, programming method, machine definition, control behavior, or production practice? |
| Production planning, inventory, quality, costing, or shop-floor transactions | Morphos 3D | Which engineering and programming data must become an ERP or MES transaction? |
| Implementation, training, or adoption around a defined platform | The platform specialist | Who owns the process, evidence, exceptions, and ongoing support after launch? |
| A failure that spans several systems | Either team | Where does the first trustworthy record stop matching the next system? |
This map is a starting point, not a contract boundary. A part, process, or data issue may move between teams after the first evidence is reviewed.
The full stack is an option, not a forced replacement plan
A connected CAD, CAM, and ERP strategy is useful when repeated handoffs create re-entry, revision confusion, planning errors, incomplete production feedback, or weak traceability. It does not follow that every manufacturer should replace every system together.
If your current CAD environment is stable and the problem is CNC verification, keep the evaluation on verification. If programming is working and inventory accuracy is the constraint, start with the transaction and data model behind inventory. Broadening the scope only makes sense when the evidence shows that the failure crosses the boundary.
Bring the failure, not a shopping list
A useful booth discussion starts with the current system, machine or controller, representative part or job, the first place information becomes unreliable, and the outcome that would count as improvement.

Meet both teams at IMTS 2026
Visit Morphos 3D and PMT at booth #135824 from September 14 through 19 at McCormick Place in Chicago. Bring the software versions, machine and controller, one representative part or job, the current handoff, and the people who own the decision.
Reserve dedicated time with PMT at IMTS 2026 so the right programming, verification, training, or production specialist can join the discussion. For SOLIDWORKS, CAD/CAM, or DELMIAWorks questions before the show, start with the Morphos 3D contact team.
Frequently asked questions
Where can visitors meet Morphos 3D and PMT at IMTS 2026?
Visitors can meet both teams at booth #135824 at McCormick Place in Chicago from September 14 through 19, 2026.
What can manufacturers discuss with Morphos 3D at IMTS?
Morphos 3D can discuss SOLIDWORKS design and data requirements, CAD/CAM options, DELMIAWorks manufacturing ERP and MES, licensing, implementation planning, training, and support.
What can manufacturers discuss with PMT at IMTS?
PMT can discuss CNC programming, machining workflows, simulation, verification, automation, implementation, technical support, manufacturing software training, and application-specific questions.
Does a manufacturer need to replace CAD, CAM, and ERP together?
No. A manufacturer can evaluate one immediate requirement while preserving systems that still fit. The joint conversation is useful when a problem crosses a handoff between design, programming, production, and operations.
