Cimatron NC Programming enables fast, efficient NC programming for molds, dies, plates, and discrete manufacturing with one of the most competitive selections of 2.5- to 5-axis milling and drilling strategies on the market and strong built-in CAD tools, analysis tools, and simulators.
Built-in CAD Functionality
All the CAD you need for the best machining results:
Repair the model and apply drafts and rounds with a hybrid CAD environment that allows you to combine wireframe, surfaces, local open solid, and solid functions.
Cap holes and slots and extend surfaces with dedicated functions.
Remove or modify rounds and draft angles with local open solids.
Detect and analyze geometry changes with QuickCompare.
Efficient Roughing, High-Quality Finishing
Powerful roughing with ultra-high material removal rate all-rounded roughing (VoluMill).
Superior surface quality with rich 3- to 5-axis finish, cleanup, and rest material strategies including air extensions and waterfall elimination.
Multi-directional 3D mesh stock for 5-axis positioning efficient, collision-free toolpaths.
Dedicated functionality for electrodes and micro milling.
Plate Machining Seat and Automated Drilling
The Manufacturing Feature Recognition (MFR) tool automatically recognizes pocket heights, shape, and draft angle for safer and faster programming.
A 2.5-axis rough pocket procedure handles open and closed pockets, supports HSM options (i.e., round motions), and delivers holder collision avoidance.
Ultra-high material removal rate pocketing (VoluMill) with open pockets and 2D cleanup.
Automated pocket and profile using surfaces with criteria-driven templates.
Save up to 90 percent programming time with auto drill including hole and actual stock recognition.
Safe gun drilling with all feed/speed parameters recognizing intersected drilled holes.
5-Axis Programming
Safely complete any job with full user control over 5-axis roughing and finishing.
Take advantage of time-saving applications for blades, impellers, blisks, ports, inlets, and turbines.
Use 5-axis machine and material removal simulation for medical, aerospace, and other complex parts.
Access a rich library of proven posts for any 5-axis machine and controller.
Simulation and Verification
Machine confidently with simulation and verification.
Machine simulation with true representation of the kinematics, work piece, and fixtures
High-quality, embedded multi-axis material removal simulation
Reliable collision and gouge detection for the machine, fixtures, stock, part, tool, and holder
Toolpath verification with gouge and collision reports and color-coded remaining stock
Want to deliver high-quality molds of any complexity or size in record time?
