About Midwest CAM Solutions

Built in the Midwest.
Powered by Experience.
Driven by Results.

Midwest CAM Solutions has spent over 20 years helping CNC shops across the Midwest get more from their machines. When Don Casanova took ownership, he brought decades of hands-on CNC and GibbsCAM experience—and a renewed focus on helping shops work smarter. Since then, we’ve grown our expert team and expanded across the region. Through it all, our focus remains the same: real support from real people who care about your success.

Experienced

Our team has over 75 years of combined experience in the CAM industry. We know manufacturing.

Dedicated

We are dedicated to providing you with a world-class CAM solution. As GibbsCAM specialists, we are focused on maximizing your investment in your CNC machines.

Our Mission

We help CNC shops maximize machining potential with smart software, practical training, and human support that shows up when it matters.

CAM should feel doable, not daunting. Whether you’re building your first post or streamlining a complex MTM workflow, we’re here to help you move faster, work cleaner, and stay in control.

Customer success means your machines are cutting, your code is clean, and your team isn’t left hanging when a deadline is on the line.

WHO WE SERVE

If you run a CNC shop that values precision, uptime, and practical support, you’re in the right place.
We work with teams of all sizes, from one-person garage shops to large aerospace and medical manufacturers. Whether you’re quoting tight-tolerance parts or managing multi-machine workflows, our solutions are built to fit your shop, not the other way around.

Our customers include:

  • Job shops juggling high-mix, short-run work
  • Precision manufacturers focused on speed and repeatability
  • Aerospace and medical suppliers navigating tight specs and certifications
  • Tool and die makers who need reliable, flexible programming
  • Contract manufacturers looking to scale without chaos

If you’ve ever felt let down by slow support, confusing training, or CAM software that doesn’t quite fit your machines, we’re here to change that. We combine real-world machining knowledge with responsive, localized support to help you:

  • Minimize downtime
  • Maximize output
  • Feel confident in your CAM setup every single day

We’re a match if you’re looking for a partner, not just a provider.
