Optimize Toolmaking

Pro/TOOLMAKER helps you get to market faster by improving operational efficiency, and by leveraging the latest capabilities offered by high-speed precision machining technology.

With Pro/TOOLMAKER, manufacturing engineers can work with data from any CAD system, create associative NC toolpaths directly from CAD models, and leverage concurrent engineering. The result: you have the power to increase product quality, reduce scrap, and shave production time and costs for any design.

Key Benefits

• Easy to learn and use, with valid toolpath parameters being set after the tooling has been specified
• Quickly computes effi cient, reliable toolpaths for even the most complex geometries, with highest-quality surface finishes
• Provides multi-CAD support, enabling fully associative, reliable NC
  toolpath programming for Pro/ENGINEER and other CAD systems
• Assembles all high-speed precision machining processes into a single package:
  - High-speed machining strategies, optimized approach, exit and connections for roughing, rest-roughing, finishing and rest milling, including pencil trace
  - Complete gouge protection on tool and holder geometry
  - Tooling library with material/feed/speed/cutting conditions
  - Automatic hole detection on imported geometry, for automated hole-making
  - Support for 5-axis positioning (3+2)
  - Provides machined part inspection capabilities
  - Includes GPOST, for creating and updating post-processors for any type of CNC machine
• Features a multi-threaded architecture that saves time by allowing you to continue working in Pro/TOOLMAKER while toolpaths are calculated in the background
• Extends tool life and reduces wear on machines with its optimized toolpaths, feed-rate optimization, and anti-vibration capabilities
• Provides in-process stock models to visualize the part after each machining step and to optimize subsequent toolpaths
