LAHORE, Oct 1: The Delcam of Birmingham, UK, the world’s leading developer and supplier of CAD/CAM software, will donate power mill and power shape software worth $1.2 million to the University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore.

Punjab Finance Minister Tariq Hameed will be chief guest at a ceremony being held at the UET on Tuesday in this regard.

This software assists in computer-aided design and computer-aided machining for use in three-dimensional design, manufacture and inspection of high precision components and complex shapes. It is already being used by more than 2,500 organizations in over 40 countries.
