What's New in Cimatron 2026

Introducing Cimatron 2026

Cimatron 2026 launches a new era of innovation for mold, die, and discrete parts programming with new and advanced tools, powerful automation, and improved user experience.

This release was developed to help manufacturers work smarter, reduce error, and processes from design to delivery.


Mold and die improvements

Easily add your favorite components

Quickly find and insert commonly used mold components.

Electrode design automation

Automatically cut blanks based on holder shapes to reduce error and accelerate electrode design while ensuring compliance with company standards.

Integrated flow simulation

Integration with Altair Inspire Mold provides optimized design workflows.

Assembly cut manager

An improved assembly cut manager provides clearer insights and better control over cuts for assemblies and dies.

Eliminate guesswork from stamping die cost estimation

Use Cimatron DieQuote to generate accurate and comprehensive cost estimates for stamping dies in under 10 minutes.

Springback detection

Springback deform identification capabilities ensure easier detection of deform points for reduced error and design time.

Integrated forming simulation

Integration with Altair Inspire Form provides powerful analysis tools within a seamless workflow.


Next-level CAM capabilities

Motion editor

Improved manual toolpath editing with collision checks delivers better performance and the ability to “undo” and “redo” actions.

High-performance machine simulation

Machine simulation is more accurate and 10 times faster with GPU-powered calculations.

Improved management

Open multiple NC documents to copy and paste toolpath across files.

Auto 5X Tilt

Optimize 3+2 machining capabilities to enhance surface quality and reduce cycle time.


Smarter automation for design and manufacturing

Cimatron 2026 offers powerful new automation capabilities to speed up workflows and reduce repetitive tasks.

Excel integration

Boost design automation with new two-way communication between Cimatron and Excel.

Assembly set attributes

Define sets using nearly any part attribute, including custom attributes.

Parametric sketches

Save and reuse sketches with formulas and setup data.

Adaptable drafting templates

Manage multiple drawing configurations with fewer templates.

Journaling

Record operations in ready-to-run API programs for faster development.


Assembly and catalog enhancements

Catalog updates

Automatically retain formulas and customizations when updating catalog parts.

Reference manager

Take advantage of a new, dedicated tab for tracking rerouted and lost references.

DI change alerts

Get notified when DI files are updated to keep models current.


Smarter and faster design and production

Fully integrated wire EDM programming tools

Cimatron 2026 introduces Cimatron Wire EDM, a fully integrated solution for the advanced solid-based CNC programming of 2-axis and 4-axis machinery.

Integration of these programming tools ensures that mold and die specialists have streamlined access to all the capabilities needed in a truly comprehensive CAD/CAM solution.

Advanced burning toolpath simulation is among the wire EDM capabilities developed to ensure safe operations and high-quality parts.

Cimatron Copilot, your digital assistant

Meet Cimatron Copilot, your built-in digital assistant.

Trained with Cimatron’s comprehensive knowledge base, Cimatron Copilot helps you locate tools, learn how to use them, and answer any Cimatron-related question.

It supports multiple languages and voice commands via your microphone, making it easier than ever to get the help you need.

Easier feature updates with highlighted changes

Cimatron developers enhance existing tools and introduce new features with every release.

In Cimatron 2026, any tool with new or updated functionality is now marked with an orange indicator, helping you quickly spot changes without the need to search through documentation.

CAD-AI enhancements

Cimatron 2026 continues to advance AI-driven design features, streamlining tasks and improving accuracy for mold and die makers.

Simplified licensing with improved flexibility

Powered by Thales, Cimatron’s new licensing system delivers added convenience and control.

Among improvements are key-based activation for enhanced privacy, as well as the ability to work offline or bind a license to a machine for a set duration, and the ability to transfer licenses between computers without Cimatron support.
