Unlocking Efficiency and Innovation: A Deep Dive into Cimatron E15
1. Core Philosophy & Key Changes in E15
Before diving into clicks, understand Cimatron E15’s positioning: cimatron e15
: New analysis tools allow designers to detect the distance between cooling lines and part faces more accurately. Conformal Cooling Unlocking Efficiency and Innovation: A Deep Dive into
6. Post-processing
- NC Code Generation: Once the toolpaths are verified, generate the NC (Numerical Control) code for your CNC machine.
- Machine-specific Post-processing: Apply any necessary post-processing to ensure compatibility with your specific CNC machine.
On-Machine Inspection: Support for inspection reporting directly on the machine helps ensure part accuracy before it is removed from the fixture. Resources for Further Reading NC Code Generation : Once the toolpaths are
Example Workflow for a Deep Pocket (Depth > 8x Tool Diameter)
- Roughing – Large endmill with trochoidal entry, limited to depth possible without holder collision.
- Second roughing – Longer tool with rest roughing, using peel milling.
- Semi-finishing – Z-level with small stepdown, avoid recutting chips (use air blast / through-coolant).
- Finishing – Spiral 3D or Z-level with shallow stepover, high feed.
- Cleanup – Pencil milling on bottom fillets, then shallow area finishing.
One of the standout features of Cimatron 15 is its focus on cooling efficiency. The software introduces a dedicated application for conformal cooling design, which is critical for reducing injection cycle times.
Programming Automation: Features like 3+2-axis automated remachining help reduce the manual effort required for complex toolpaths.
: Automatically finds the best orientation for a mold's opening direction to minimize under-cuts, which is critical for complex automotive or industrial parts. Enhanced Plate Machining : Includes new procedures like Corner Plunging
