You\u2019re a student at the <a href=\"https:\/\/uwaterloo.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University of Waterloo<\/a>, sitting at your desk having a meeting with your two friends and future business partners. You\u2019re talking about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/fusion-360-5axis-machine-configuration\/\">5-axis machining<\/a>, a newer process that hasn\u2019t been widely adopted yet, but you immediately see the potential compared to 3-axis machining. All of a sudden, an idea hits&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward to today, and you\u2019re the co-founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/camplete.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAMplete Solutions<\/a>, a 5-axis simulation company based in Cambridge, Ontario. Well, not you, of course, but our next guest, Paul Hoskins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Paul and his team continued to learn more about 5-axis machining through their own experience and by hearing complaints from fellow machinists, they began to notice common workflow issues across the board. They realized that it was all too common for the communication between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/integrated-cad-cam-software-benefits\/\">CAD\/CAM<\/a> tool and machine to break down, often leaving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/top-5-milling-code-references-that-every-machinist-should-know\/\">machinists<\/a> in the dark midway through a project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Technology-Center-San-Francisco-1381-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"5-axis-simulation-camplete\" class=\"wp-image-20406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Technology-Center-San-Francisco-1381-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Technology-Center-San-Francisco-1381-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Technology-Center-San-Francisco-1381-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Technology-Center-San-Francisco-1381-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Technology-Center-San-Francisco-1381.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The CAMplete team envisioned a software line that bridges this gap. CAMplete currently offers four tools: CAMplete Truepath, CAMplete Truepath Lite, CAMplete Turnmill, and Intelligent Protection system or IPS. But what sets CAMplete\u2019s software apart is that it\u2019s not a one-size-fits-all solution for machines. Each tool is designed for the specific machines CAMplete users work with. For example, if you use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/fusion-360-haas-compatibility\/\">Haas<\/a>, there\u2019s a version for you, and if you use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.matsuurausa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Matsuura<\/a>, there\u2019s also a version for you. It&#8217;s a purpose-built tool that empowers its users to succeed on their terms and to cover your back when maybe, just maybe, you miss a last-minute detail that could cost you everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, starting a completely new business type is never as easy as simply having a great idea. Case in point, CAMplete is a technology-driven platform designed for an industry that historically is the antithesis of the current technology motto of \u201cmove fast and break things.\u201d The image we picture when we think about Paul and his co-founders starting CAMplete are them knocking on small manufacturer\u2019s doors, being met with only a few positive responses. In this episode, Paul gives us the full CAMplete story, from knocking on those doors to becoming a successful 5-axis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/fusion-360\/blog\/simulation-software-design-process\/\">simulation<\/a> software company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Listen to the full episode above via&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/podcast\/id1550538394mktvar002=4333587001|ORG|&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=other&amp;utm_campaign=4333587dmapplef360&amp;utm_id=4333587001\">Apple<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/music.amazon.com\/podcasts\/1668d489-ba28-484d-b665-33135667b2fd\/the-new-possible\">Amazon<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/6sf4KwKB7AMAh7PPUPkriVmktvar002=4333585002|ORG|&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=other&amp;utm_campaign=4333585dmspotifyf360&amp;utm_id=4333585002\">Spotify<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.google.com\/feed\/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xNDgzODg1LnJzcw==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google<\/a>.
