Hexagon AB announced the signing of an agreement to acquire D.P. Technology Corp., a developer and supplier of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology.

The ESPRIT CAM System, its flagship solution, is the smart manufacturing solution for any machining application.  Supporting any class of CNC machine via a common interface and workflow, it provides high-performance CNC machine programming, optimization, and simulation for a broad range of precision manufacturing applications.

Known for its machine-optimized, edit-free G-code (toolpath), ESPRIT leverages a digital twin simulation platform to model the finished part, tools, and CNC machine.  AI-based algorithms eliminate manual data input and provide machine operators with greater assurance of what will happen on the shop floor.  The result - simplified programming, increased tool life and utilization, reduced cycle times, and improved productivity.

Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Camarillo, California, D.P. Technology employs around 260 people in 27 locations worldwide.  The company is also represented by a network of 130 resellers across 44 countries, giving ESPRIT a global footprint and install base.  D.P. Technology will operate as part of Hexagon's Manufacturing Intelligence division.  Completion of the transaction (closing) is subject to regulatory approvals.  2019 sales amounted to 35 MEUR.
