Geometric Technologies, Ltd., known until October 2007 as TekSoft, Inc.[1] supplies CAMWorks, a Computer Aided Manufacturing product which runs inside SolidWorks and introduced in 1997. Currently it sources its High Speed Machining strategies from an unnamed third party that "devotes 10–15 programmers to developing just this module".[2]

The company's first product was ProCAD/CAM (introduced in 1984),[1] which was largely discontinued by 2006 due to the difficulty in managing 20-plus year DOS based code.[3]
