To top things off, new cooling design and analysis capabilities support both traditionally drilled cooling channels as well as conformal cooling channels that are typically manufactured using 3D printing technologies. Additionally, Motion Simulation was greatly enhanced with the ability to conduct valuable dynamic analysis at the very start of a project. Mold and die designers will enjoy a wholly revamped insert design application that automatically creates all standard aspects of the design, saving a lot of time and manual operations. It can be easily adapted to any customer’s in-house methodology and standards, supporting both direct and indirect output file formats. One of the outstanding features in CimatronE 12 is the powerful new EDM Setup environment that can fully control the electrode burning process on any EDM machine as well as enable safe, “lights-out” operation. A new rest milling strategy for handling complex geometry with any cutter combinations delivers a more efficient toolpath and less machining time. Additionally, better surface quality and longer tool life are obtained thanks to the more uniform toolpath, which provides smoother machine motion, and reduced vibrations.
Roughing productivity is dramatically enhanced in CimatronE 12 with a new, highly accurate 3D stock for 3+2 Axis positioning and 5 Axis, resulting in safe roughing and reduced machining time. Another new capability enables users to visualize the remaining stock in color and on the fly, for better decision-making at any point of the process. The new Machine Preview shortens programming cycles by enabling optimization of multi-axis machine orientation before the toolpath is calculated.
The new NC Setup tool lets users define materials, machines and part setup, offering better process management. On the CAM side, CimatronE 12 has raised the bar with programming efficiency, roughing productivity and finishing quality.
