CIMATRON Mold Design

CAD/CAM Solution for Mold Making

Cimatron Mold is a single, integrated CAD/CAM software solution dedicated to mold making—from quoting, to design, to manufacturing. Deliver high-quality molds of any complexity and size in record time.

Data Import

Import your customer data and start working within seconds:

Import data from all standard formats, including mesh objects – DXF, IGES, STEP, VDA, Parasolid, SAT (ACIS), and SAB.
Import, read and write Mesh Formats including STL, VRML, OBJ (Acrobat), PLY, 3MF, JT (read) with support for colors and textures.
Use native formats – AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, CATIA, Creo, NX, SolidWorks and SolidEdge.

Quoting

Win more business with quick and accurate quoting:
Use dedicated tools to extract design information.
Extract accurate design data to Excel.

Parting and Preliminary Design

Use QuickSplit, the industry’s fastest and most accurate parting and cavity design tool:

Ensure flawless parting with analysis tools to identify undercuts, check geometry and verify parting surfaces.
Define multiple opening directions, generate geometry for cores, cavities, sliders, lifters and other active components.
Perform mending and surfacing work with powerful hybrid solid/surface modeling capabilities.
Apply engineering changes at any point in the project.
Create preliminary 3D designs to evaluate strategies and gain customer approval.

Mood Tool Design

Load an entire mold base plate set in just minutes using standard and user-defined catalog parts:

- Load an entire mold base plate set in minutes utilizing standard and user-defined catalog parts.
- Design the core, cavity and sliders using feature-based design as well as direct modelling tools.
- Use dedicated tools to add lifters, inserts ,ejectors, cooling systems, gates and runners.
- Validate your design with measurement, analysis and collision detection tools
as well as FEA and ECO analysis.
- Create and reuse drawing templates incorporating customer specifications
using dynamic multiple, shaded views.
- Add BOM and table of holes to your drawings taking into account machining attributes.

Electrode Design and Manufacturing

- Create electrodes easily and in record time using Hybrid Electrode design of surfaces and solids covering the entire design process.
- Ensure an error-free burning process, with quick definition of spark gaps, 2D or 3D orbiting, and rough offsets.
- Centrally define electrode and machine parameters and control the electrodes sent for burning.
- Create complete 2.5-5-axis machining procedures at the click of a button.
- Quickly create and edit mirrored electrodes by intelligently mirroring the electrode’s geometry, without mirroring the holder and the base.

NC Programming 2.5 - 5 Axis

Use built-in CAD to add surfaces and contours, cap holes and slots, extend surfaces and apply drafts and rounds.
Achieve efficient roughing and high quality finishing with a range of 2.5–5-axis optimized machining strategies.
Dedicated plate machining seat generates efficient toolpaths for plate machining and drilling.
Machine with confidence using material removal and machine simulations.
Access a rich library of post-processors for 3- and 5-axis machines, and all leading controllers.
Automatically generate NC Setup and Tool Table reports.
A wide range of new, advanced NC Strategies for Pocket, Cleanup, Chamfer, Roughing, and Finishing.
