Cimatron Limited’s independent Brazilian reseller CimaCAD showcased leading CAD/CAM software solution CimatronE at FMU, Brazil's premier tooling, modeling, and machining fair.

"Brazil hosts one of the world's largest manufacturing industries and Cimatron is continuing its push into this thriving market," says Alexandre Censi, Cimatron's country manager for Brazil.

"As one of the largest trade shows in South America, FMU offers us yet another opportunity to demonstrate how our integrated CimatronE solution can meet Brazilian manufacturers' evolving CAD/CAM needs."

CimaCAD is based in Joinville where FMU was held. Its operations cover the Santa Catherina state area in southern Brazil. It is one of several CimatronE resellers across the country.

CimatronE's acclaimed mold making capabilities will be the focus of the CimaCAD booth at FMU. In particular, experts showcased the software's strength as an integrated solution, from quoting to design and NC programming. CimatronE's acclaimed functionality includes data import, quoting, parting analysis, tool design, drafting, NC programming for 2.5- to 5-axis, and electrode creation.

The latest version of CimatronE offers powerful new features, including: analysis tools to establish parting directions and the parting line; location analysis for sliders and lifters; automated lifter and insert tools and early machining capabilities. In NC programming, CimatronE 10 offers background toolpath calculations, higher quality toolpaths for second rough operations, a new finishing strategy, and a new cutter library.
