Estimation

Accurate estimation solutions help manufacturers evaluate cost, feasibility, and risk early in the production process—before committing time and resources on the shop floor. By analyzing part geometry, material behavior, tooling requirements, and process steps upfront, these solutions provide realistic projections for material usage, cycle time, tooling investment, and overall production cost. This enables teams to compare design alternatives, identify potential manufacturing challenges, and make informed decisions during quoting and planning. The result is faster, more reliable estimates, improved confidence in bids, reduced cost overruns, and a smoother transition from design to production.

CAD Design Programs

Cimatron is a CAD platform designed specifically for tooling and manufacturing workflows, giving customers a streamlined way to design, modify, and prepare molds, dies, and tooling with manufacturing intent built in from the start. By focusing on real-world tool design needs, it helps reduce rework, shorten design cycles, and improve collaboration between engineering and the shop floor.

Customers benefit from faster turnaround, greater design accuracy, and smoother transitions into manufacturing, enabling them to quote with confidence and execute jobs more efficiently. As a result, their customers benefit from shorter lead times, more competitive pricing, consistent tool quality, and faster response to design changes—leading to improved production readiness, fewer delays, and reduced overall manufacturing risk.

Incremental Forming

Incremental FEA technology helps the sheet metal manufacturing industry by continuously improving simulation accuracy, speed, and usability without forcing major changes to existing workflows. As FEA models evolve step by step—through better material models, faster solvers, improved meshing, and tighter integration with design and manufacturing data—engineers can more easily predict forming behavior, springback, thinning, wrinkling, and potential failures earlier in the process.

This allows manufacturers to refine part designs, tooling, and process parameters with greater confidence while minimizing trial-and-error on the shop floor. The result is reduced scrap, fewer tool modifications, shorter launch cycles, and more stable production, making incremental FEA advances especially valuable in an industry where small process improvements can lead to significant cost savings and quality gains over time.

CAM Solutions

Cimatron’s CAM is built to take CAD geometry and generate NC toolpaths for CNC machining—covering common milling/drilling needs up through advanced operations like 5-axis programming, with simulation/verification to help validate the machining plan before cutting metal.

How it benefits their customers (tool shops / manufacturers)

Faster programming + shorter cycle times: A wide range of machining strategies (roughing/finishing, drilling, multi-axis) helps programmers produce efficient toolpaths faster and iterate quickly.
Reduced risk on the machine: Built-in collision/gouge detection and verification helps prevent crashes and scrap by checking tools, holders, fixtures, stock, and workpiece interactions before running the job.
Better surface quality / less benchwork: CAM strategies aimed at high-quality finishing can improve surface results, reducing downstream hand polishing and rework.
Integrated workflow: Because it’s positioned as integrated CAD/CAM for tooling, changes can be managed with less rework across design → NC programming → manufacturing.
