AEGIS ANNOUNCES OEM AGREEMENT WITH GPD GLOBAL
PHILADELPHIA, PA – Aegis Industrial Software Corporation,
developer of the popular CircuitCAM computer integrated manufacturing
(CIM) software, announces an OEM agreement with GPD Global, manufacturer
of a full line of liquid dispensing systems for heated and non-heated
applications. Under this agreement, GPD Global will exclusively offer
CircuitCAM for CAD, Gerber, and ASCII/Centroid data conversion to allow
total integration into a CIM environment, for their SMT applications.
CircuitCAM supports the easy setup, fast return on investment, and

can now create simple glue programs, as well as sophisticated graphical
area filling for advanced applications.”
