Cimatron Signs New Multi-Year Deal with Siemens PLM Software FOR D-Cubed Components

Siemens PLM Software and Cimatron Limited of Givat Shmuel, Israel, a leading provider of integrated CAD/CAM solutions for the tool-making and manufacturing industries, announced that Cimatron has renewed its agreement to use three of Siemens PLM Software’s D-Cubed™ component software products – 2D DCM, 3D DCM and HLM – inside their CimatronE suite of integrated CAD/CAM solutions. The agreement has also been extended to include support for the 64-bit PC/Windows platform.

CimatronE offers mold and die designers applications for modeling, electrode design and NC tool-path generation. The parametric sketching foundations of CimatronE’s CAD capability are provided by the 2D DCM. The 3D DCM is used for parametric part positioning in support of mold and die assembly modeling, and the HLM is used for fast and accurate generation of hidden line drawings.

“The D-Cubed components are widely used across the CAD/CAM application development industry. We have been using them since 1997 and it is clear to us that they offer an excellent combination of value, functionality and quality for Cimatron and our customers,” said Danny Haran, President and CEO of Cimatron. “After a review of our future requirements and options, we are pleased to have secured long term access to these important technologies and to extend our use to 64-bit platforms. Factors such as ease of integration and high quality support services make a valuable contribution to meeting the needs of our customers in the relevant functional areas.”

“The D-Cubed components have evolved over many years to meet the demanding requirements of a large and diverse customer base,” said Bruce Feldt, vice president of Open Tools, Siemens PLM Software. “We put our software components through an extensive process of market validation and optimization, resulting in a commercial and technical offering that is unmatched in the CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM industry. This position is further reinforced today with Cimatron’s renewed commitment to our solutions.”
