Cimatron เปิดตัว V2024 อย่างเป็นทางการ

What’s New in Cimatron 2024

Cimatron powers up version 2024 with unparalleled tools for advanced toolmaking

Cimatron 2024 continues its focus on core capability,
while incorporating new technology through
collaboration with Sandvik Coromant.
Introducing new features in all areas of the product,
version 2024 is a substantial release with a focus on
5 key areas : Automation, Simplified UX, Productivity,
Process Management, and Digital Connectivity.

Drafting/UI

• Advanced workflow enhancements including multi-
  view spacing, batch-processing for drawing updates,
  tangent control for blending faces, and an easy
  option for capping internal islands.
• Cimatron 2024 also introduces a clean new GUI
  for controlling drafting standards, improved draft
  analysis visualization, and automated chain selection
  of chamfer faces.
• CAD users will enjoy many new features for
  2D drafting as well, such as importing PDFs as
  real geometry and text, new minimum distance
  dimensioning, enhanced symbols, and improved
  geometric datum and tolerancing (GD&T)

CAD

• Mold makers gain powerful CAD enhancements
  for rib construction with added functionality for
  working on multiple curves in a single operation and
  automatically extending rib geometry to part side
  walls. In addition, Cimatron 2024 can now create
  partial ribs in complex scenarios where a complete
  rib cannot be produced.
• Within mold design, the construction of 3D runners
  has been improved, providing better design control
  based upon constant volume, vertical orientation or
  section orientation.
• Electrode design is a critical aspect of the mold
  production process. Version 2024 includes
  automation for the Burn Body operation to optimize
  the electrode body shape, control of electrode
  extensions, and non-cutting rules for manual
  construction.
• Die designers can now easily build 3D drawbead
  geometry to control material flow during the
  drawing operation in order to achieve the optimal
  forming of a part without cracks and wrinkles. The
  new routine will generate the drawbead based upon
  section type and automatically blend the result into
  the binder faces.

CAM

• The Enhanced Automatic Feed Control (AFC)
  routine has been completely redeveloped and
  optimizes stock removal for roughing operations by
  automatically controlling the feed rate, resulting in
  smoother motion, faster machining times, longer
  tool life and fewer changes on the machine spindle
  and axes. Live benchmark testing with Sandvik
  Coromant has reduced cutting time more than 10%
  on CNC machines.
• Cimatron 2024 introduces a new 3-axis deburring
  procedure to create chamfers or fillet shapes along
  sharp edges. CAM users can generate constant
  width or constant depth chamfers, as well as
  constant width or constant radius fillets.
• For 5-axis machining, the software now allows the
  automatic use of remaining stock from previous
  3-axis operations during roughing. This enables the
  use of shorter cutters for greater stability.
• 5-axis auto tilting feature has been significantly
  enhanced with calculation time improvements of up
  to 25 times in some cases. This significant boost in
  efficiency enhances productivity and reduces overall
  machining time.
• A new option for pre-drilling during roughing
  operations prevents cutters from plunging into
  blind pockets. Cimatron will automatically define the
  optimum position and depth for pre-drilling as part
  of the roughing procedure.
• The On Machine Inspection Probing module now
  supports multipoint selection and cylindrical-
  shaped probes, enabling more versatile and precise
  inspection processes.
• Toolpaths can now be split based on tool life or
  cutting length, providing greater control and
  optimization during machining operations. A new
  NC Template Manager has been implemented,
  simplifying the editing process for users.
• Additionally, the ability to display toolpath nodes
  offers valuable visualization capabilities, aiding
  CAM users in predicting the quality of finishing
  toolpaths, particularly when utilizing Fine Surface
  Quality options. Furthermore, the toolpath simulator
  calculation time has been significantly improved,
  resulting in an average productivity gain of over
  30%.
