Description
The shirt is a men's large, embraided with "Mastercam X" above the shirt pocket. The material is a heavy-weighted grade of cotton. Technically, the images show the color is white, but it's actually a light beige, or creamy vanilla color.MasterCAM is one of the best CAD/CAM systems on the market and the name is well-known in manufacturing. However, less well-known is the significance of the "X".
Prior to 2004, CNC Software identified new releases with the word "Mastercam", a number, and the word "version", for example, "Mastercam Version 4", or "Mastercam Version 9".
In 2004, while CNC Software was celebrating their 20th year in business, Microsoft was preparing to release a 64-bit version of Windows XP. CNC Software saw the potential. The 64 bit platform allowed CNC to create a totally new interface, much faster processing, and Machine and Control definitions. Beta users were very impressed.
But the new version would not be named Mastercam "version 10" or version (roman numeral for 10). Instead, it was named "Mastercam X", which borrowed the X from the word, extreme, as in, "X-treme"
That was 16 years ago, but for those of us who can still remember navigating thru the little text menu in the upper left corner of the screen, have no doubts about the value of the X"
The software was introduced at booth #D3024 at the 2004 IMTS
