CimCAD Software

 

CimCAD is a very easy to learn design program that was written with you the user in mind. Many common operations have "hotkeys" (keyboard shortcuts) which by-pass the menus for faster access. It also contains a full set of tools that simplify designing and machining.

 

Machining Features

Simple point-and-click addition of lead-in cuts or tabs and loops.

Cutter compensation (for tool size).

Optimized machining order, with easy manual override of order.

Automatic nested layout, using subroutines in the controller.

User-configurable postprocessor handles almost any controller.

Automatic generation of NC code for the entire design.

 

Design and Editing Tools

A full set of construction tools simplifies data entry from blueprints.

Powerful free-hand techniques for artistic work (sketching, bending, stretching), without compromising true arc storage for machining.

Various built-in tools such as area fill or pocket milling with island avoidance.

A full set of Dimensioning tools is included.

Cimex File Checker automatically finds and fixes design problems like gaps and overlaps.

 

Parametric Design

Create your own parametric standards for designs that you run frequently. If you have a number of similar designs to program, you only need to program it once, change one or more of the dimensions, and then have the other lines update automatically.

 

Integration with other software

CimCAD can exchange DXF, CFF2, DDES (IT8.6), DWG, HPGL, Adobe Illustrator (AI-EPS), and NC code files with other CAD systems. It can also drive most plotters, digitizers, lasers, water jet cutters, routers, and other NC machines.

 

Customizable

With its powerful built-in macro and menu language, CimCAD can be readily customized for specific applications. Talk to us about your requirements - we will provide customization, or show you how to do so yourself.
