HANNOVER, MD, USA, Nov 3, 2025 – Phillips Corporation, Federal Division, and Mastercam, a global leader in CAD/CAM software, have strengthened their partnership to streamline government purchasing and accelerate access to world-class CNC programming solutions. This enhanced collaboration represents a major step forward in ensuring Federal customers can obtain best-in-class CAD/CAM software and support with greater ease, speed, and reliability.
Effective immediately, Phillips Federal is the exclusive source for all Mastercam solutions in direct territories across the United States. This means federal customers no longer need to coordinate between multiple vendors or navigate complex approval chains. Whether purchasing new software, renewing licenses, or accessing Mastercam CONNECT, agencies work with one trusted partner who understands federal requirements. This transition reflects Mastercam’s confidence in Phillips Federal’s proven expertise, not only as specialists in CNC programming, but as the Federal Government’s trusted partner in manufacturing solutions.
“Phillips Federal understands the unique challenges government manufacturers face—from urgent defense contracts to maintaining aging equipment,” said Stas Mylek, Strategic Partnerships Leader at Mastercam. “This exclusive partnership means federal customers get both world-class CAD/CAM software and a partner who speaks their language, knows their contract vehicles, and can navigate federal requirements seamlessly. “
Phillips Federal and Mastercam are equipping Federal agencies and defense manufacturers with the tools and resources needed to maintain operational readiness and technical excellence at an accelerated pace.
At the core of this strengthened alliance is a shared mission: to empower Federal and defense manufacturers with advanced CNC programming solutions that drive precision, performance, and productivity. Phillips Federal’s long-standing reputation for government manufacturing excellence, combined with Mastercam’s cutting-edge software, enables customers to confidently tackle even the most complex machining challenges.
“Together, Phillips Federal and Mastercam are aligning capabilities to raise manufacturing readiness across the organic industrial base (OIB), pairing proven CAM excellence with OEM agnostic training, secure integration, and on-asset troubleshooting. Side-by-side, our teams will co-design workflows, co-develop curricula, and co-deploy toolpaths, fixturing, and inspection practices that translate directly to the shop floor. By linking digital thread practices to practical skills in programming to proofing, cutting, to inspection, we will help artisans and technicians alike deliver repeatable quality under real-world constraints. The result is a stronger, smarter, more resilient federal manufacturing ecosystem, equipped to sustain mission-critical production today and to scale for tomorrow.” – Tim McClanahan, President, Phillips Corporation, Federal Division
