Manufacturers face a widening skills gap as experienced toolmakers leave the workforce, making it more challenging to remain competitive.
To bridge the gap and help industry newcomers quickly become productive, Cimatron provides software solutions with easy-to-use interfaces and workflows, automation capabilities, embedded industry expertise, and advanced verification and simulation tools.
These technologies help increase efficiency despite workforce challenges, standardize best practices, and make it easier to train new hires.
Templates, automated calculations, and intelligent defaults are examples of industry expertise embedded directly in the software to guide users.
Collision checks, simulations, and validation tools eliminate mistakes that less-experienced staff might overlook.
Generate drawings, BOMs, setup sheets, and NC reports that ensure consistent communication with the shop floor.
Advanced modeling tools enhance engineering agility and allow designers to choose the approach that works best for them and the job without mastering every CAD technique.
Design verification capabilities help catch errors early in the engineering process and give less experienced staff the tools they need to design with confidence.
Automatically generate documentation, such as bills of materials (BOMs) and drawings, to reduce error-prone manual data entry and improve collaboration.
Dedicated mold design tools make it easy to add surfaces and contours, cap holes and slots, extend surfaces, and apply drafts and rounds for smooth transition to machining despite minimal expertise.
Embedded knowledge and the automation of tedious and error-prone manual calculations empower less experienced staff to generate accurate quotes in minutes.
Strip design capabilities with real-time simulation and validation tools simplify the development of progressive die layouts and provide instant feedback.
Automation tools accelerate the creation of forming and bending punches and cutting objects, and the contours for trimming punches can be defined with a single click.
Automation tools make it easy to adapt catalog parts or sub-assemblies to a main assembly’s dimensions and integrate catalog parts into assemblies.
Designs can be easily validated using built-in measurement, analysis, and collision detection and motion analysis capabilities.
Programming templates for wire EDM operations help standardize processes and enable less experienced programmers to deliver reliable and repeatable results.
Cimatron simplifies the selection of burning surfaces and the generation of holder and blank geometry, as well as the creation and reuse of electrode design templates for greater efficiency.
The ability to check electrode and holder designs for collisions with parts and fixtures helps users design with increased confidence.
Automatically generated inspection drawings for electrodes enable staff to verify dimensions prior to burning.
Process templates can be easily created and reused, enabling the automatic selection of milling strategies based on electrode geometry.
Easy-to-use CAD and CAM tools in a single interface allows users to repair and prepare models quickly for production, reducing the need for expert CAD intervention.
Automated drill hole programming capabilities cut programming time by up to 90% and enable less-experienced programmers to produce results faster.
Specialized machining strategies for roughing, finishing, plate machining, micro milling, and electrode production embed best CNC programming practices directly into the workflow.
Proven post-processors and dedicated 5-axis machining strategies ensure the generation of safe and accurate CNC toolpath by programmers with varying skills.
Advanced simulation and verification capabilities, including collision and gouge detection, help newer CNC programmers machine with confidence and protect machinery.
