| Pioneering Solutions for Micro-Milling and Manufacturing |
|
The first commercial NC application for milling micro-components |
|
Cost-effective, efficient design and manufacture of miniature high-precision parts and molds |
|
Superb surface quality within tolerance as tight as 0.0001 mm using cutting tools with diameters down to 0.1 mm |
|
High geometric accuracy with built-in CAD tools |
|

| Shrinking Dimensions, Growing Expectations |
More and more of your clients - medical, optics, computer components, and others - depend on your ability to cost-effectively manufacture very small, high-precision parts and molds.
Today, you're expected to work on a scale, and with a level of accuracy that you couldn't have dreamed of a year ago. That's why today, you're either facing the challenges of micro-milling - or watching as the competition does so.
To meet this challenge, Cimatron leveraged two decades of NC expertise, cooperation with international academic institutions, leading machine and tool vendors, to pioneer the first solution that enables effective scaling of jobs to the micro environment. |

| High Speed Milling for Polishless Machining |
| In micro-milling, hand polishing is not an option - and polishless surfaces quality is a necessity. That's why CimatronE Micro Milling supports : |
|
|
|
All rounded motions toolpaths, including true-spiral milling |
|
Large rounding radius (0.3) with small step-over (0.03) |
|
Adaptive Z-layer finishing |
|
Zero-overlap trochoidal finishing of ridges |
