Manufacturers are expected to quickly produce complex projects without sacrificing quality and know that rework, delayed tryouts, and scrapped parts can rapidly reduce profits.
Cimatron’s complete CAD/CAM solutions — including tools developed specifically for mold and die production — improve first-time-right success and time to market by ensuring accuracy and quality at every stage of the manufacturing process.
These technologies help increase efficiency despite workforce challenges, standardize best practices, and make it easier to train new hires.
Powerful parting and cavity design capabilities help moldmakers quickly identify important details that affect how jobs will be performed. Stamping die specialists can achieve a detailed understanding of all cost components.
Choose the best technique for the job from among hybrid solid and surface modeling tools that simplify and accelerate complex design tasks.
Eliminate error at the design stage with a range of tools that verify the integrity of in-progress designs. For moldmakers, draft analysis, undercut detection, and motion analysis verify manufacturability.
Generate safe and accurate multi-axis toolpath using specialized CNC machining strategies and proven post processors. Interference checking and collision detection eliminate shop-floor surprises.
Cimatron simplifies designing molds of any size and surface complexity. Preliminary designs can be used to help evaluate production strategies and secure customer approval. Robust visualization tools streamline the placement of mold components like plates, sliders, lifters, inserts, and other catalog parts, as well as cooling, ejection, and runner systems. Integrated CAD/CAM capabilities accelerate the transition to production.
Even the most complex die projects can be simplified using dedicated functionality for die making. From automated blank development with spring-back analysis to real-time strip layout simulation and validation, design and analysis tools ensure efficiency and quality. Integrated CAD/CAM capabilities make it easy to transition to manufacturing.
Moldmakers can speed up time to market with flexible surface and solid modeling tools that simplify complex jobs. Automated electrode creation capabilities help accelerate mold design, while standard component libraries reduce repetitive tasks. For die design, shop floor trial and error can be reduced with tools that imitate the elements used to shape parts.
Improve programming efficiency with specialized machining strategies that allow CNC programmers to retain complete control over all machining operations. Multi-axis toolpath simulation and comprehensive gouge and collision detection capabilities help manufacturers machine with confidence. Automated drilling and plate machining reduce programming time by up to 90%, while electrode and micro-milling capabilities ensure precision in the smallest details
Move seamlessly from design to production using a single, integrated design and CNC programming environment. Analysis and editing tools make it easy to prepare parts for production and ensure optimal manufacturability. Generate safe and efficient toolpath, and benefit from specialized machining strategies that increase productivity and make the most of your investment in machinery.
