Cimatron — 2026
Enhancing the efficiency of designing complex progressive dies.
: The system now keeps the 5 most recently used fonts at the top of the list for both modeling and drafting. Linear dimensions in drafting also automatically apply a diameter symbol when they detect parallel lines representing holes or shafts in side views. NC & Machining Updates
The workers at the plant were initially hesitant about the new technology, fearing that it would replace them. But as they began to work alongside the Cimatron 2026 system, they realized that their roles were changing, not disappearing. They were now free to focus on higher-level tasks, such as design and innovation, while the software handled the repetitive and mundane tasks. cimatron 2026
: Enhanced automation for complex parting lines, cooling channel optimization (including conformal cooling for 3D printing), and specialized tools for electrode design. High-Speed Machining (HSM)
Mold designers benefit from automated extend-and-cap features, component search with favorites, vent channel support, and more control over cooling parameters. For electrodes, Cimatron 2026 introduces automatic blank cutting based on holder shapes, safety checks for electrode UCS, tie holder and blank rotation, and improved drawing dimensions. NC & Machining Updates The workers at the
The programming suite undergoes its most significant toolpath evolution in years, addressing surface quality, computing speeds, and axis management.
, which utilizes graphics card processing to increase simulation speeds by up to 10 times compared to traditional CPU methods. This is particularly effective for complex 3- and 5-axis parts. CAD-AI Integration : Enhanced automation for complex parting lines, cooling
Ironically, if you are running Cimatron 2016 or earlier, the leap to 2026 is actually cheaper in labor savings than sticking with the old perpetual licenses (though users should note Cimatron moved to a subscription model years ago).
: Automatically aligns electrode holders directly to the initial raw blank orientation to eliminate downstream set-up confusion. Die Design and Part Modification
Stamping die manufacturing requires precision control to handle physical material deformations and sheet metal springbacks. Cimatron delivers specific tools to optimize these calculations.
