| Safe and Highly-Efficient Toolpaths |
| To eliminate the risk of tool breakage, reduce air-cutting motions, maintain tool load and lengthen tool life, CimatronE Micro Milling constantly and automatically records remaining stock details, even at the micro-component level. CimatronE Micro Milling features : |
|
|
|
Recognition of actual remaining “micro stock” |
|
Special function to Rough and Finish in the same operation |
|
Adaptive tool-load control |
|
Trochoidal milling for roughing |
|
|
|
 |
|
| |
| Flowline and 5-Axis Milling |
| Best surface quality by following the natural geometric flow 5-axis tilting to machine deep areas with conic tapered tools Production of miniature parts with complex formed surfaces Automatic identification of tool orientation according to the cutter, holder, and part |
|

|
| |
| Optimized Milling Strategy |
| The smaller the component to be milled - the more quality results depend on an optimal automated machining strategy. CimatronE Micro Milling features : |
|
|
|
Dedicated functions to machine micro components such as rough and finish in a single operation, and round toolpath with very small step over |
|
Adaptive machining strategies like : |
| |
|
|
| • |
Automatic definition of optimal approach and retract motions |
| • |
Automatic identification of roughing strategy |
| • |
Smart usage of tools of differing lengths, without fragmenting the toolpath |
| • |
Automatic implementation of rerough during cleanup |
| • |
Adaptive feed control to maintain constant tool load |

| High Accuracy Integral CAD |
In the micro-milling arena, accuracy and quality of geometry is mission critical. Even small gaps, overlaps, or geometrical discontinuities can significantly affect surface quality. CimatronE Micro Milling includes built-in, highly-accurate (0.001 microns) surface creation and mending tools, reducing programming time and ensuring that machined geometry meets tough quality requirements.
"Micro-Milling technology has now made the step from the science lab to the shop floor. We are happy to see that as a result of the European Micro-Milling Research Project, Cimatron has already implemented special Micro Milling functions in their new software release."
