Cimatron Limited announced today that the forthcoming newest version of its integrated CAD/CAM software, CimatronE 12, will be previewed at the MECSPE/Eurostampi trade show, March 27-29, 2014, in Parma, Italy.
"Cimatron's tradition of excellence in reducing production time, optimizing results, and boosting automation, continues with the forthcoming release of CimatronE 12," said Mr Gianluca Renzi, Managing Director of Microsystem, Cimatron's Italian subsidiary.
"The new software will provide major advancements across the entire tool creation process, from data import and design, right through to NC programming and machining.
"For mold shops, CimatronE 12 will provide improvements such as dramatically simplified wedge and insert creation, blank size refit during electrode design, and more confident results with new cooling simulation, including a new tool for the analysis of conformal cooling systems, CimatronE's first solution for 3D printing.
"For die shops, the software will feature simplified and quicker insert design for use in creating forming and bending punches, new blanking options, and engineering change order management for dies.
"In NC programming, there will be major efficiencies in both rough and cleanup, simpler automated drill programming using fewer sequences, improved 5-axis continuous roughing and re-roughing, more accurate stock, and new machine display when defining a procedure. Project management and tracking have also been enhanced with a new NC Setup dialog and the new Job Manager.
"The software will also support the Additive Manufacturing File (AMF) format, the new standard for converting 3D models into digital files for 3D printing and additive manufacturing.
"I encourage visitors to Eurostampi to visit our booth for a preview of these and the many other advancements available in CimatronE 12."
CimatronE 12 will be released officially in coming months, at which stage further details of new and enhanced CAD/CAM capabilities in the software will be made available.
