Cimatron Continues Focus on Helping Toolmakers and Manufacturers Shorten
Product Delivery Times With CimatronE Version 8.5
New CAD/CAM Features and Expanded Support for Concurrent Design and
Manufacturing Help Optimize Production Processes
GIVAT SHMUEL, Israel, April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cimatron Limited
(NASDAQ: CIMT) a leading provider of integrated CAD/CAM solutions for the
toolmaking and manufacturing industries, announced the general availability
of the newly released CimatronE 8.5.
Cimatron's CAD/CAM solutions address the entire process-from quoting
through design, engineering changes, NC, and EDM programming to
delivery-helping tool makers and manufacturers deliver higher quality tools
and products at lower costs and shorter cycle times.
"The new version of CimatronE is another step in our ongoing effort to
help toolmakers and manufacturers become more competitive by shortening
production cycles and reducing manufacturing costs," said Danny Haran,
Cimatron's CEO and President.
CimatronE Version 8.5 incorporates over one thousand product
enhancements, including:
Concurrent Engineering
Cimatron's concurrent engineering capabilities improve productivity and
collaboration and significantly compress product delivery times.
Concurrent design capabilities are built into Cimatron's CAD
applications, enabling multiple users to simultaneously work on the same
assembly and shorten the design cycle. Starting with version 8.5, these
concurrent design capabilities are available throughout the entire Cimatron
CAD product line.
Cimatron's support for concurrent engineering extends beyond the design
phase. The integrated end-to-end design-to-manufacturing solution uses a
single database that provides complete associatively and enables multiple
steps of the design and manufacturing process to be performed in parallel.
Streamlined Numerical Control
Modified NC Setup Reports: Automatically-generated NC reports facilitate
the information flow between NC programmers and the shop floor, providing
machine operators with detailed information that includes the tool paths,
procedures, tools, and parameters for each job. Images and user-specific
information can be added to the reports, which can be presented either online
or in print.
Automated Drill: New operations added to the Automated Drill application
include profiling of holes and threading cycles, as well as pocketing for
pre-drill preparation of difficult to drill areas such as slanted surfaces.
These operations can be integrated into the automated drill sequence and
reused from libraries to increase efficiency and accuracy.
5-Axis Production: CimatronE version 8.5 features new enhancements to the
5-Axis Production application, including spiral cut milling, 3-5 Axis
transformations, and advances in impeller roughing.
Integrated CADENAS Catalogs
CADENAS PARTsolutions is now integrated into CimatronE 8.5, enabling tool
makers to shorten design cycles by incorporating ready-made CADENAS catalog
parts into Cimatron tool assemblies.
While the catalog functionality has long been available in Cimatron's
software, the CADENAS catalogs place thousands of new standard components at
the disposal of Cimatron users, eliminating many of the manual and
time-consuming steps in the tool design process.
New Advanced Die Design Capabilities
Creating intermediate binder blanking surfaces and unfolding the part on
these faces is one of the most challenging tasks in the die design process.
In most cases, accurate results can only be achieved after a laborious and
expensive trial and error process.
Based on a finite element analysis, Cimatron's "blank on binder" enables
the user to perform this task and unfold freeform shapes onto a 3D geometry
with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
