Cimatron E16 SP2 P1
Cimatron, the leading CAD/CAM software supplier for the mold & die industry, have announced the release of their Mold & Die focused product Cimatron 16. After an intensive period of industrial beta testing, Cimatron 16 is now available for general distribution.
Cimatron software by 3D Systems is a dedicated solution for tooling and addresses the entire tool-making process—from quoting, to design, to applying engineering changes, to NC programming. The access to CAD and CAM capabilities with the latest simulation tools in one software platform allows mold makers to reduce design and delivery time and become more productive. Cimatron provides a full range of NC technologies from simple 2.5 axis milling and drilling to complex five-axis machining and micro milling.
Cimatron is designed to address the entire tool making process—from quoting to design, applying engineering changes and NC programming. This enables tool and mold makers to deliver higher quality tools at lower cost with shorter cycle times.
Also Cimatron delivers expert toolsets for conformal cooling designs plus interactive simulations to determine areas of the design where conformal cooling can assist, the company says. These tools validate the design for cooling efficiency, injection-molded part quality, and overall injection cycle time reduction. Cimatron by 3D Systems provides mold makers with the automation, and dedicated tools for their respective needs.
Version 16 is a substantial release introducing many new features in all areas of the product including a clean new UI and increased automation for faster mold design, electrode creation, and NC programming. In addition, the continued emphasis on solutions for toolmakers includes powerful functionality for die addendum surfaces, mesh manipulation, and drafting detailing.
