Moore Nanotechnology Systems LLC will begin incroporating the IMSL Numerical Libraries into its NanoCAM software by porting their application to a C# development environment, according to a news release issued May 13.



This change will allow Moore Nanotechnology to use the IMSL C# Numerical Library for Microsoft .NET applications, observed the news release issued by Visual Numerics Inc., which produces the IMSL Numerical Libraries. The new version leveraging a C# development environment should be available later this year, the company reported.

"Like many of our customers," said Visual Numeric's North American sales director Andy McClure, "Nanotechnology is migrating their application to a new language to take advantage of additional development tools. IMSL Numerical Libraries ensure numerical consistency across different languages and platforms, so developers don't have to hard code libraries to fit each application environment."

The addition of IMSL Numerical Library math algorithms, including spline definition and interpolation functions, enables the accurate definition of 3-D freeform surfaces. Customers in defense, aerospace, consumer electronics and ophthalmic industries use Moore Nanotechnology's ultra-precision machining equipment to create 3-D freeform surfaces such as optical lenses, mirrors and inserts.

NanoCAM is a 3-D CAM software that allows manufacturers to define the precise surface that can be machined using Moore Nanotechnology machine tools.
