Cimatron 15.0 SP1 (build 15.0100.1774.705) x64 Official release

3D Systems (DDD) has announced the release of version 15 of its Cimatron software for mold-, die- and tool-makers. This new version introduces new and enhanced capabilities that can dramatically accelerate productivity whilst minimizing cost in the design and manufacturing of molds, dies and discrete parts.

Introducing Cimatron 15
Cimatron 15 introduces hundreds of new and enhanced capabilities, aimed to enable toolmakers deliver high quality tools faster and easier, while reducing costs. New, enhanced and automated NC programming capabilities enable manufacturers to shorten programming and machining time. A new Mill/Turn application was added to the Cimatron NC environment enabling customers to program Mill/Turn and Turning machines within the same familiar environment. New and enhanced tool design capabilities enable mold makers to design faster, improve manufacturing quality and get optimal design of Molds, using automated cooling design capabilities and new analysis tools.

New Mill/Turn Application
New Mill/Turn capabilities were added to Cimatron for faster machining and better surface quality for tool makers that want to use the familiar and safe environment of Cimatron to program their Mill/Turn and Turning machines. Turning with Cimatron supports full functionality for roughing, high-performance roughing (using VoluTurn), contouring, threading, center drilling, tapping and boring.

The application is fully integrated within the Cimatron CAM environment allowing easy programming, machine simulation and post processing of the entire NC process – Milling, Drilling and Turning.

New and Enhanced 5-Axis Milling Capabilities
– Automated 5-Axis Roughing – Optimized Roughing for multidirections can now be programmed and calculated entirely and automatically by the system for maximum material removal in minimal machining time from optimal selected directions. Users can now let the system calculate complex part roughing for them.
New and Enhanced 5-Axis Milling Capabilities-cont.
– Guided Multi-Axis Cleanup – in a click of a button, the system calculates optimized multi-directions cleanup motions, taking into account the tool and holder shape to protect from potential collisions.
– Advanced Finish with the new Geodesic Technology – A new high quality toolpath calculates an even 3D step over on complex parts. It includes support for guide curves, undercut and consider holder to prevent collisions. Users can use it for 3-axis ,4-axis and 5-axis toolpath typically used for parts that require high quality surface finish such as mold and die cores and/or cases where a continues toolpath start-to-end without re-entries is required.
– New 5-Axis Automatic Deburring – Automatically program deburring operations by selecting geometry, surfaces or an entire model. The toolpath considers the machine axis limits and holder to create a collision-free toolpath. Users can use it for 3-axis ,4-axis and 5-axis toolpath on jig and fixtures as an example.

Plate Machining Automation and Enhancements
Plate Machining Enhancements – While plate machining considered to be a rather simple 2.5 Axis set of operation, it consists of many procedures with many programming parameters that might requires a long programming time. New and enhanced capabilities were added to version 15, in order to automate & shorten the programming process and achieve safe and efficient toolpath.

This includes:
– Manufacturing Feature Recognition
– Pocket, Slot and Hole Manager
– Pocket Template
– Automated Drill including Drilling Sequences
– Rough Pocket
– Corner Plunging – New
– Collision Free Profile
– Helical Profile

Fast Machining with Circle Segment Cutters and Enhanced AFC
– Enhanced Automatic Feed Control (AFC) in Rough- enables to optimize stock to be removed by automatically controlling the feed rate, resulting in smoother and safer motions, faster Roughing machining time, less drastic changes on the machine spindle and axes and longer tool life.
– Circle Segment Cutters in Finish – Barrel, lens, oval and now also 3-radii segments cutting tools can be utilized by Cimatron toolpath strategies. Using any of these cutters will shorten the machining time for a given scallop while achieving even better surface quality.
– All-Rounded Toolpath in Rough, Finish and Cleanup Operations – Users can now create rounded motions over the entire toolpath on corners and connections resulting in Smoother machine motion, less vibrations and longer tool life.

Cimatron software by 3D Systems is a dedicated solution for tooling and addresses the entire tool-making process-from quoting, to design, to applying engineering changes, to NC programming. The access to CAD and CAM capabilities with the latest simulation tools in one software platform allows mold makers to reduce design and delivery time and become more productive. Cimatron provides a full range of NC technologies from simple 2.5 axis milling and drilling to complex five-axis machining and micro milling.

Cimatron is designed to address the entire tool making process-from quoting to design, applying engineering changes and NC programming. This enables tool and mold makers to deliver higher quality tools at lower cost with shorter cycle times.

Also Cimatron delivers expert toolsets for conformal cooling designs plus interactive simulations to determine areas of the design where conformal cooling can assist, the company says. These tools validate the design for cooling efficiency, injection-molded part quality, and overall injection cycle time reduction. Cimatron by 3D Systems provides mold makers with the automation, and dedicated tools for their respective needs.

Hardware Requirements
The hardware requirements for installing Cimatronare as follows:

* To gain better I/O performance, it is recommended using a solid state hard Drive (SSD). Windows and Cimatronshould be installed on the SSD. The file management should be configured on a different hard drive, local or network based.
** Quadro cards from Nvidia and FirePro/Radeon Pro cards from AMDare the most recommended cards for CAD/CAM software.The performance of graphics cards is tightly related to driver version and memory size. The newer the driver and the greater the memory, the better the graphics card performance.

Software Requirements
The software requirements for installing Cimatronare as follows:The following Windows operating systems are supported:
Recommended:
Windows Server 2008, 2012, 2016 or 2019
