Product description

Automating CAD/CAM processes with Cimatron CAD-AI

Cimatron CAD-AI is a computer-aided design (CAD) technology that accelerates mould design and production by using artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically detect part features within solid models.

The technology’s AI-based feature detection capabilities integrate seamlessly with Cimatron’s computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) automation tools to streamline the generation of safe and accurate CNC toolpath.

 

Developed to automate everyday tasks, CAD-AI increases accuracy and efficiency from design to production

The seamless CAD/CAM integration provided by Cimatron is even more powerful with AI capability.

Feature detection

  • CAD-AI automatically detects and sorts various mold features, such as holes, pockets, slots, and fillets.
  • AI-based feature detection enables moldmakers to automate everyday CAD/CAM processes with reliable and repeatable data for increased efficiency.

Automated toolpath generation

  • CAD-AI simplifies the process of sharing vital CAD data with the CAM software needed to communicate manufacturing instructions to machine tools.
  • While Cimatron already delivers seamless interoperability between CAD and CAM systems, the use of AI-based feature detection available with CAD-AI makes it easier than ever for manufacturers to automate the generation of the accurate toolpath needed to safely and efficiently operate CNC machinery.

Cimatron CAD-AI and Smart NC Templates

Feature detection by Cimatron CAD-AI helps enable the automated generation of the safe, high-quality CNC toolpath needed to efficiently drive machine tools.

  • Use CAD-AI with Cimatron’s Smart NC templates for even greater efficiency. Simply modify your existing NC templates to work with the colours assigned by CAD-AI to automate toolpath generation based on your processes.
  • The combined use of Smart NC template automation and CAD-AI technology further reduces time required for manual programming while reducing errors and improving efficiency for 2 ½-axis to 5-axis machining.

Development on the horizon will enable users of CAD-AI to use machine learning to teach the system how to recognise specific part features using their own data. This ability to customise CAD-AI’s feature detection capabilities will ensure that a shop can automatically utilise data from past jobs and apply best practices.
