About ModuleWorks
ModuleWorks was founded by Yavuz Murtezaoglu in 2003, initially specializing in 5-Axis machining technology; but the origins of the company can be traced back into the 1990’s. During that time Yavuz was a partner with a successful German Mastercam reseller, Camaix, developing 5-Axis machining technology as a plug-in for the Mastercam product.
With the success of the initial 5-Axis plug-in it became apparent there was a strong demand for the technology in the wider CAD/CAM industry and so ModuleWorks was born as an independent CAD/CAM component supplier offering proven 5-Axis machining technology.

ModuleWorks started with a few industry partners, but the strength of the technology and increasing worldwide demand for 5-Axis machining meant rapid growth with many additional partners. As of early 2012, ModuleWorks has more than 50 industry partners with over 11,000 installed seats of software around the world.
ModuleWorks has invested heavily in R&D to meet the demands of our partners and now have development centres in Germany, Romania, Ukraine, Russia and the UK.
The company is now more than 50 strong with the vast majority focussed purely on R&D, producing 3 new releases each year. We have no end user products, allowing us to focus on meeting the needs of our partners.
The product range has steadily grown with the addition of components for Simulation and 3-Axis machining as well as sophisticated industry focussed solutions for Dental, Woodworking, Blade and Port machining. In addition to the component development, we also undertake custom development projects to integrate and extend our technology to meet partner specific requirements.
