Cimatron 2026 -

A defining characteristic of Cimatron 2026 is its native support for hybrid manufacturing—the seamless combination of additive (laser powder bed fusion or directed energy deposition) and subtractive (milling) processes within a single workpiece. Recognizing that conformal cooling channels are now standard in high-end injection molds, Cimatron 2026 introduces a DED (Directed Energy Deposition) Path Generator. This allows a machinist to deposit a near-net shape of a mold insert onto a standard blank, then immediately switch to finishing toolpaths. The software automatically handles the stock model transition, a task that previously required manual file transfer and alignment. This integration reduces material waste by up to 85% for large mold bases and cuts lead time dramatically.

Intelligent Solid & Surface Hybrid Modeling Cimatron 2026 introduces an enhanced hybrid modeling environment where solid and surface operations coexist non-destructively. The new Direct Editing Wizard allows users to push/pull complex B-rep faces, remove fillets in batches, and offset core/cavity faces without regenerating history. This is critical when repairing imported geometry from automotive or consumer electronics supply chains.

Automated Core & Cavity Separation A major update is the AI-assisted Parting Designer. The system now automatically detects undercuts, suggests parting line locations, and generates split surfaces with fewer manual steps. For complex dies, the new Slider & Lifter Catalog includes parametric, industry-standard components that auto-adjust to the part’s draft angle. A defining characteristic of Cimatron 2026 is its

Electrode Design 2.0 Since electrodes remain vital for EDM machining of complex cavities, Cimatron 2026 debuts Agile Electrode, a semi-automated workflow:

The CAD environment in Cimatron 2026 has been fundamentally re-architected. The headline feature is the AI-Assisted Parting Line Designer. Traditionally, extracting a parting surface from a complex plastic part could consume hours of manual trimming and stitching. Version 2026 employs a machine learning model trained on thousands of mold geometries to automatically propose and refine parting lines, reducing designer intervention by an estimated 70% on organic shapes. The new Direct Editing Wizard allows users to

Furthermore, the Electrode Design Workbench has been enhanced with generative capabilities. Engineers can now select a burn area, and Cimatron 2026 will automatically generate not only the electrode geometry but also the associated holder, graphite stock, and burning program, while simultaneously checking for clearance with adjacent mold components. This reduces the electrode design cycle from minutes to seconds, a critical advantage when producing molds for rapid prototyping or short-run production.

The most anticipated update is the integration of predictive AI within the MoldDesign environment. Historically, setting parting lines and parting surfaces was a manual, skill-intensive task. In Cimatron 2026, the software analyzes the part geometry and proposes three viable parting line strategies within seconds.

The improved 5-axis "Deep Reach" and hybrid additive features are designed specifically for complex, deep-draw dies and structural aircraft parts.
