See here an amazing 3-yr subscription success story, that was concluded because of the potential value of the SolidMetal virtual marketplace for a SolidCAM customer:

SolidMetal will support all local languages.

SolidMetal will be marketed by SolidCAM in all Internet Venues and Forums, where CNC Job Buyers are likely to look for CNC Machine Shops to do their jobs. SolidMetal is a service we give to our SolidCAM CNC Machine Shop customers, on condition they are on valid subscription, using our latest and best SolidCAM2021 version, and are using our amazing iMachining 2D/3D modules. T he Job Buyer can ask for quotes from several CNC shops and compare. When they find a suitable CNC machine shop, they enter the data for their job (text, drawings, SolidWorks model, Parasolid model.) and send it to the chosen CNC machine shop. CNC Job Buyers can search quickly in the CNC machine shops database, according to certain keywords/Indexes: CNC work type (Medical, Aerospace, Mold.), Brands and capacity of CNC machines, Geographical location, etc.
