Since 1982, Cimatron has provided toolmakers with an end-to-end solution for designing and manufacturing tools including molds, dies, and electrodes, as well as programming any CNC and EDM machine for molds, dies, plates, and discrete manufacturing. While Cimatron is at its most powerful when used as a fully-integrated system, it also provides standalone solutions for faster quoting, tool design, electrode creation, and NC programming.
Dramatically increase your productivity, competitiveness, and profitability with a wide range of dedicated, applicative tools for mold, die, and electrode design and manufacturing, as well as a full range of CNC technologies, from simple 2.5-axis milling and drilling to complex 5-axis machining.
In addition, Cimatron offers a view-only license and special solutions and bundles for electrodes, additive molding, NC plate machining, turning, EDM setup, and education/academic institutions, plus optional add-ons for NC programming and mold, die, and electrode design and manufacturing so that you can customize your workflow.
ALPLA produce innovative packaging systems, bottles, caps and injection-molded parts for a wide range of industries. Find out from Markus Schuster, Head of ALPLA Mold shop how a company with 23,300 employees in 190 locations uses Cimatron for their tool design & manufacturing processes, and electrode automation workflow.

B&J Specialty Increases Production Rate by 30% with Cimatron Designed Conformally-Cooled Injection Mold. The new conformally-cooled mold inserts reduced temperature variation throughout cooling to 18C and shrank cycle time on the mold from one minute to 40 seconds, an overall productivity improvement of 30 percent.
SAVE 70% OFF DESIGN TIME, 16% OFF MOLD COST, and 14% OFF CYCLE TIME.
Scott Young, Engineering Manager at Bastech, a single-source solution provider for mold design & manufacturing, and additive manufacturing services explains how the implementation of Cimatron for conformal cooling design has introduced a new level of simplicity, efficiency, and economy to mold design.
please help, I am an avid mastercam user and our company is trying to go to one cam package! I want someone who knows about this software to help me explain why mastercam is better. I love Mcam and have since V6 I dont want to lose it.
I dont know anything about cimatron, but you already know MC and that is a plus already. No learning curve. It is fun to see what else is out there, but I always come back to my mastercam X. I would put it up against any cam package. X2 is just around the corner and with the new tool paths and stuff mastercam is on the right track. If your boss could wait I think mastercam is just going to get better.
I beleive it is cimatron e is the most current. See the problem is I am not the senior programmer so I dont really have alot of say in this but if I could come up with some good arguments I am hoping to overcome this.
I am not sure how it handles multi parts multi sides this is in a horizontal inviroment. Mastercam handles it flawless with wcs and t/c planes with translate and rotate no hand editing and good verify. I see him having multiple files to make 1 part with lots of hand editing and cut and paste I do not know if he knows how to use it right or if that is just how it is.
I've used both and liked both. Mulitparts and multiple programs are no problem. but if you are wanting to stick with mastercam you might also mention that Cimatron is about 150% more expensive---at least here in the states it is.
I have many years experience on both Mastercam and Cimatron.Both are good products in their own right.I personally like Cimatron for mold and electrode design.I will also use Cimatron on occasion today if I need true stock model machining.Anything else it gonna be Mastercam or Gibbs.I kinda equate this to whether I am gonna program a specific item for a Mori or a Makino.
This was a very complex system back in the day I used it and we couldn't get much help.I'm sure it does more than you need but how to get there may be another story. Cimatron was stored on the shelf and never used again after we had Mastercam
