NC Programming
Cimatron NC Programming enables fast, efficient NC programming for molds, dies, plates, and discrete manufacturing with one of the most competitive selections of 2.5- to 5-axis milling and drilling strategies on the market and strong built-in CAD tools, analysis tools, and simulators.
Built-in CAD Functionality
All the CAD you need for the best machining results:
- Repair the model and apply drafts and rounds with a hybrid CAD environment that allows you to combine wireframe, surfaces, local open solid, and solid functions.
- Cap holes and slots and extend surfaces with dedicated functions.
- Remove or modify rounds and draft angles with local open solids.
- Detect and analyze geometry changes with QuickCompare.
Efficient Roughing, High-Quality Finishing
- Powerful roughing with ultra-high material removal rate all-rounded roughing (VoluMill).
- Superior surface quality with rich 3- to 5-axis finish, cleanup, and rest material strategies including air extensions and waterfall elimination.
- Multi-directional 3D mesh stock for 5-axis positioning efficient, collision-free toolpaths.
- Dedicated functionality for electrodes and micro milling.
Plate Machining Seat and Automated Drilling
Create complete 2.5- to 5-axis machining procedures with the click of a button:
- The Manufacturing Feature Recognition (MFR) tool automatically recognizes pocket heights, shape, and draft angle for safer and faster programming.
- A 2.5-axis rough pocket procedure handles open and closed pockets, supports HSM options (i.e., round motions), and delivers holder collision avoidance.
- Ultra-high material removal rate pocketing (VoluMill) with open pockets and 2D cleanup.
- Automated pocket and profile using surfaces with criteria-driven templates.
- Save up to 90 percent programming time with auto drill including hole and actual stock recognition.
- Safe gun drilling with all feed/speed parameters recognizing intersected drilled holes.
5-Axis Programming
- Safely complete any job with full user control over 5-axis roughing and finishing.
- Take advantage of time-saving applications for blades, impellers, blisks, ports, inlets, and turbines.
- Use 5-axis machine and material removal simulation for medical, aerospace, and other complex parts.
- Access a rich library of proven posts for any 5-axis machine and controller.
Simulation and Verification
Machine confidently with simulation and verification.
- Machine simulation with true representation of the kinematics, work piece, and fixtures
- High-quality, embedded multi-axis material removal simulation
- Reliable collision and gouge detection for the machine, fixtures, stock, part, tool, and holder
- Toolpath verification with gouge and collision reports and color-coded remaining stock
