Hypertherm retires MTC brand name

Hypertherm, a manufacturer of advanced cutting systems in Hanover, N.H., has begun marketing its ProNest, TurboNest, NestMaster, and Design2Fab software under the Hypertherm name.

The products, formerly marketed under the MTC brand name, support a number of different cutting processes including plasma, laser, oxyfuel, and waterjet. The software can be used to program traditional XY machines, as well as combination punch, plate processing, reposition, contour bevel, and rotary pipe and tube machines.

"Though we have been a part of the Hypertherm family for more than three years now, we are excited by this name change. It cements Hypertherm's commitment to nesting software and continued research and development in the CAM software arena," said Derek Weston, product marketing manager. "This change will not change the way current and future customers receive technical support and product updates. Customers can continue to contact their existing representative for any of these needs."
