CadMax

Cadmax Corp. develops CAD software, including CADMAX Solid Master for feature-based solid modeling. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

The natural audience is companies with a specific process to automate. Related areas on their profile: CAD and Software Engineering. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

CadMax is based in Baltimore, Maryland. Their site is cadmax.com.
