What is the OMAX Compatible Logo about?

The purpose of the OMAX Compatible Logo program is to connect OMAX customers with 3^rd party vendors, and to encourage 3^rd party vendors to write software that makes OMAX customers or machines more productive.

Who gets to use the Logo?

Software vendors can submit their software to OMAX for evaluation. If OMAX determines that the software is of potential use to OMAX customers, and is compatible with the OMAX software, then OMAX may grant the developer permission to use the OMAX Compatible logo. In addition, OMAX may list the vendor on this web site, and possibly other locations.

Disclaimer:
When evaluating 3^rd party software, OMAX is primarily concerned with the utility from the OMAX customers' point of view. OMAX does not, however in any way endorse the third party software, or guarantee it to work, be compatible, be of any level of quality or otherwise be an effective solution for the customer. Testing is limited to basic sanity checks at the time of submission, and in no way is intended to replace careful evaluation by the customer. OMAX reserves the right to allow or deny the use of the OMAX logo at OMAX's sole discretion, and at any time.

Note:
OMAX may also list and recommend 3^rd party software products that are not part of the OMAX Logo program. In these cases, the logo is not displayed, indicating that insufficient testing has been done by OMAX to warrant the inclusion of the logo.

Does it cost anything?

OMAX charges no fee to the vendor, and provides support on OMAX file formats and other questions to the vendor for free.
At times, OMAX may assist customers in dealing with some vendors (for example, for post processor development). In this case, OMAX provides all such support to both the vendor and the customer for free. Of course, the vendor may charge the customer for their products or services.

How can I get my product listed on www.OMAX.com?

If you are a 3^rd party vendor that would like to be listed in the 3rd Party Software listings in the OMAX Owners Area of this web site, please email softwareengineering@omax.com for assistance.

For Developers:

The OMAX software has many hooks in which 3^rd parties can interface with it:

• Creating Post processors to generate OMAX Tool Paths
• Launching the OMAX software from 3^rd party applications
• Automatic report generation
• Running OMAX Motions from another piece of software
• Communicating with OMAX Make via a shared file
• Communicating with OMAX Make via Windows Messaging
• Support for the MTConnect standard
• Creating OMAX "bitstream" files for infinite control of custom tool paths
• Other options inside or external to the OMAX software

The most common 3^rd party interface is through a post processor to output to an OMAX tool path file. OMAX is happy to help you with support, documentation, samples, and more.
