Cimatron Reaching Out to Mold Makers at PlastShow, Brazil
Cimatron Limited announced that Brazilian resellers Autoflow and Fitso Solucoes em Tecnologia will be showcasing leading CAD/CAM software solution CimatronE at PlastShow, Brazil, April 10-13, 2012.
"The CimatronE integrated CAD/CAM software package is a best-in-class solution tailored to shops with demanding tooling needs," said Alexandre Censi, Cimatron's country manager for Brazil.
"At PlastShow we will be offering demonstrations of CimatronE's many benefits, particularly its powerful capabilities for designing all types of molds, both simple and complex.
"The most outstanding aspect of CimatronE's MoldDesign solution is that it was not developed as an add-on to an existing CAD/CAM product. On the contrary, it was purpose-built with the mold maker in mind, offering a range of customized features aimed at optimizing tool shop output while minimizing the learning curve for new users."
The CimatronE integrated MoldDesign solution covers the entire production cycle, from quoting through to design, NC programming and manufacturing. Key mold making functionality includes:
- Mold design - data import from a wide range of standard and native formats; data heal and stitch; QuickSplit for fast, accurate parting and cavity design; BOM generation; mold base plate libraries; core, cavity and slider generation; lifter and insert placement; ejection and cooling system creation; runner sketching; motion analysis and collision detection; and drafting.
- Electrode design - burning and manufacturing.
- NC programming - built-in CAD functionality; background toolpath calculations; efficient roughing; high quality finishing; 5-Axis capabilities; plate machining and drilling; advanced micro milling; simulation; a rich library of post-processors; and NC Setup and tool table reports.
PlastShow is Brazil's premier trade show for the plastic injection industry. The CimatronE display at the event will be staffed by representatives of Autoflow, based in Sao Bernardo do Campo, and Fitso Solucoes em Tecnologia, based in Sorocaba city. They are among several CimatronE resellers in the country.
