DSI and NexGen Solutions Merge to Lead CAD/CAM Software Services in North America
In a significant move for the manufacturing software landscape, Design and Software International (DSI) and NexGen Solutions have officially merged, establishing DSI as North America's foremost provider of CAD/CAM software and services. This merger merges two experienced teams under the DSI brand and aims to enhance customer experiences and broaden the range of services available throughout the manufacturing software lifecycle.
The consolidation will allow DSI to elevate its partnership with Autodesk while expanding its technical expertise, which is crucial for manufacturers across the continent. Clients will now benefit from an extensive portfolio of services that span critical domains including CAM programming, machine simulation, post-processing, additive manufacturing, and data lifecycle management.
Moreover, DSI aims to provide comprehensive support that includes expert consulting, training based on established curricula, and customized workflow automation solutions. This will ensure customers receive tailored CAM and post-processing solutions that align with their unique machinery and production requirements. The organization plans to support manufacturers from the initial design phase all the way to final delivery, providing a full suite of tools for design validation, order tracking, and revisions.
According to Jon Caliguri, the President and CEO of DSI, the merger comes at a critical time for the North American manufacturing sector. He stated, "Reshoring is accelerating while AI and smart technologies drive predictive analytics, automation, and efficiency. By joining forces with NexGen, we're uniquely positioned to help customers navigate this transformation and lead the future of advanced manufacturing."
Matt Salentine, President and CEO of NexGen, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the practical experience that both organizations bring from the manufacturing floor. The merger is expected to enhance access to specialized expertise across various domains including CAD/CAM, robotics, and automation technologies, allowing customers to operate with increased speed and confidence.
During this transitional period, the NexGen Solutions name and website will remain operational to ensure continuity. This move is designed to smoothly integrate existing programs, support channels, and training resources into the more unified DSI experience.
Furthermore, DSI is committed to offering access to complementary technologies, particularly in the areas of additive simulation and robotic additive manufacturing, which will be supported by a vast network of manufacturing partners. DSI has long been recognized for its efforts in improving manufacturers' throughput, quality, and agility through expert support, training, consulting, and digital automation solutions.
The foundation of DSI traces back to 1990 when it began empowering manufacturers with innovative solutions driven by evolving technology in the manufacturing sector. Meanwhile, since 2008, NexGen Solutions has established a solid reputation in providing top-tier training and consulting services that are underpinned by its deep-rooted experience across the manufacturing ecosystem.
As they move forward as a united entity, the focus will be on leveraging their combined strengths to address both existing and emerging challenges within the manufacturing industry, all while maintaining a customer-centric approach that prioritizes speed and efficiency in outcome delivery.
