On a side note, everytime i see the Mastercam Logo it looks worse than before....

I don't know anyone who has a modern DMG.
Do people actually buy them here is the US?
I've watched You Tube videos of amazing machines, but they look like complex maintenance hogs
to me.
We've got an old Mori NT6000 here that was built in 2007.
We bought it in 2018 with less than 200 hours on it.
It's been a solid machine, but it's got so many safety interlocks
that it's barely functional.
We program it with a Postabilty post and get good code, but it's not easy.

Touting full support for NTX mill/turn as well?

It's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see if it pays off for 'em

nyone who has a modern DMG.

I have never seen one in the wild up here. We have a DMU50 Linear for 3+2 work, I think it's a 2005, great machine when it's running, and I enjoy programming it. Maintenance is an absolute nightmare, we would have lost the machine 2 times in as many years if our owner wasn't so damn good at repairing it. Every year or so he's got the scales all pulled out, degreasing them, and I think it was a B-axis encoder that went last year. I know for a fact it's the 2nd and last DMG they will ever buy at this shop.

we have a few of the nlx2500's here.  not a fan of the control, but they have been solid.  we are getting a NTX in January.  we are about 50/50 DMG / Nakamura for our lathe and 90% Matsurra in the mill department.

Same.

[CNCAppsJames]

I see them on the regular. Then again I'm in 100-200 different shops a year. 

But, I see more older Mori Seiki machines than newer ones.

We're converting a lot of 5-Axis DMG shops to Matsuura. Their support has a lot to be desired more often than not. They've got a few really good apps guys but they are pretty spread out over the US, and the small shop isn't gonna ever see or know those guys exist. AFAIK they've got one in LA near retirement, one in Colorado, and a couple in Chigago. The rest are meh at best.

[MIL-TFP-41]

We have a bunch of DMG-Mori lathe spindles, of various vintages from pretty late model to a couple that were new in the 90's. From single turret/spindle to triple turret, dual spindle, and the NT and NTX machines. My bet is the "industry-leading post processing software" is a mill turn environment, not just a simple post. FWIW, if Mastercam's offering is industry leading, I hate to think of how bad the other guys are doing.

They never stated which direction they were leading in....

"Industry Leading incompetence"?

Anyone who has touched topsolid will know that Mastercam Mill-Turn is FAR from and Ideal product for multitasking machines.

The Assimilation Continues

Tolland, CT (January 2, 2026) – Mastercam, the world's leading CAD/CAM software provider and part of the Sandvik Group, announced today the completion of a strategic acquisition to strengthen its market presence across Sweden and Norway. The company has acquired Advanced Mechanical Engineering AB (AME) in Sweden, a longtime channel partner with decades of CAD/CAM industry expertise.

The Assimilation Continues

If this is the same company that I'm thinking of, there was a YouTube channel that did some pretty good Mastercam videos a few years ago but they must have deleted their channel.

Tough crowd, I went to the SME conference in Montreal last year, I was talking to the DMG guys for a while, their machining centers seemed like good value, I don't know anything about maintenance costs like G was saying, I've never owned a shop, yet.
