The Universe in One Year was inspired by the late astronomer, Carl Sagan (1934-1996). Sagan was the first person to explain the history of the universe in one year as a “Cosmic Calendar”—in his television series, Cosmos.

The Universe in One YearThe Universe in One YearImagine that the history of the universe is compressed into one year—with the big bang occurring in the first seconds of New Year’s Day, and all our known history occurring in the final seconds before midnight on December 31. Using this scale of time, each month would equal a little over a billion years.

For the 20th century, Overall Technological Progress doubled every 10 years:
1900 – 1950 Technology increased 32 folds 1900 – 2000 Technology increased 1000 folds 1900 – 2010 Technology will increase 2000 folds 1900 – 2100 Technology will increase over 1,000,000 folds
The first ten years of the 21st century technological changes will be equivalent to everything that happened in the 20th century!

Forces that shape the CAM industry
New Machining Technology: Multi axis, New materials New tools Miniaturization
New Operating Systems and tools: .NET Vistas
Need for Increase Productivity - Automation World Market – Globalization Pressures from low cost labor countries (China, India,…) Increase Demand for quality, design, customization, …
CAM Market Economic Realities
CAM Market Economic Realities
Very small market: $900 million world wide
Very High Technology – Extreme Mathematics – Pure Research
Too many “micro” competitors: over 100
Public Companies sell Company shares not CAM systems and can’t invest in CAM development for lack or return on investment.
Private Company: Comfortable Life Style, Short term, Reactive, Insufficiently founded, No external financing and can’t invest in heavy development or technology buyout. Many are looking for retirement...
So, where does it leave us?
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better start running.
African poem from The World is Flat by Thomas L Friedman

ESPRIT is an “Operating System” Machine Tool Builders and Control

including private labeling Extensive choice of functionality Flexible integration On or Off line

The CAM system will become no more than a printer-driver on your CAD system. Models should be “printed” on any CNC machines without any NC programming as we know it. CNC programmers will optimize existing manufacturing processes and create new ones. As manufacturing experts, THEY will be the key to squeezing productivity out of the shop floors.

50 % production increase in one month
“In other news, in relation to our ‘success story’ posted within your website, an update on that: the story mentions that we produce on the average 200 programs a month with a 10 person staff. Well, we blew through that last month, and produced 300 new Esprit programs with 1 less person, or a 9 person staff. Of course this was done with a little overtime, but the point is, that we were tasked to produce and we did. I’m sure if we needed to do 400 we could do that as well. Now that the mill-side has picked up (ESPRIT) ’06, they are starting to ramp up their program production.”
