This release will maintain Cimatron's leading market position and provide customers with increased power and flexibility to stay ahead of the competition.
Cimatron E 4.2's improvement checklist includes the innovative QuickNC Technologies: Rough, Re-Rough and Clean-Up. The version also provides Aiming Surface in Flow Lines, True Spiral HSM, and 5-Axis Swarf Machining, where machining is carried out with the side of the cutter instead of the tip. In addition, Cimatron E 4.2 offers QuickDrill, a dedicated knowledge-based application for automation of the plate-drilling process, and a new version of WireEDM, which efficiently executes 2-axis and 4-axis Wire EDM operations. In the Design area, this release offers a range of improvements in Drafting, Assembly and Mold Design.
Cimatron E encompasses a set of powerful, easy-to-use 3D design tools. The unified solid-surface-wireframe modeling environment allows the user to manipulate imported data, or create conceptual part designs with equal ease. In the design process, Cimatron E smoothly integrates tools to split part geometry, finds and implements engineering changes, creates electrodes and inserts, and details tooling components. During manufacturing, Cimatron E implements 2.5- to 5-axis toolpaths using high-speed machining, knowledge of stock remaining and templates to dramatically reduce programming and machining time.
Natan Mossak, VP Sales of Cimatron, comments, "We are very satisfied with Cimatron E sales around the world and are confident that this release will position us as a leader in the tooling industry.
