Based on his confidence in the aerospace market, Michele Miccariello, an engineer with significant expertise in composite materials, founded his own company, CAM (Paolisi, Italy), in 2001. After completing a high level of technology investments in July 2004, GAM began operations in September of that same year. The company continued to expand its technological capabilities, and in 2005, it acquired a DCS 2500 cutting system from Gerber Technology (Tolland, Conn.), which it utilizes for cutting fiberglass, aramid, carbon prepreg, aramid cores and other materials. The DCS 2500 is a single/low-ply cutting system featuring high cut speeds (up to 66m/214 ft per minute) and quick acceleration (1.5G). The system is engineered for cutting a broad variety of materials at +- 0.1 mm (+- 0.004 inch) accuracy. The cutter can be configured in two work zones to optimize throughput by allowing cutting to occur at one end while preparation of the next set of materials to be processed occurs at the other end. The DCS 2500 head carries three cutting tools and a marking pen for maximum operating flexibility. The system is controlled by Gerber's CutWorks software, known for its intuitive and easy-to-use Windows interface.
