CimatronE Chosen for Special Medical Exhibit "From Project to Object" at Eurostampi

GIVAT SHMUEL, Israel, March 24, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cimatron Limited (Nasdaq: CIMT), a leading provider of integrated CAD/CAM solutions for mold, tool and die makers as well as manufacturers of discrete parts, announced that CimatronE will participate in a special exhibit highlighting its complete solution, that covers full tool design and manufacture, at the Eurostampi tradeshow in Parma, Italy.

Eurostampi's From Project to Object exhibit will show how a plastic part for the medical industry moves from design to production, with live production of the part on-site. The part is a "Medical Butterfly," which showcases several clamps used in the medical industry for delivery of plasma, blood, drugs and other fluids. The clamps need to be produced with extremely high standards of accuracy and surface quality in a completely sterile environment.

CimatronE will be the main CAD/CAM software for the project, designing the mold and electrodes, and NC programming all components. First, CimatronE's QuickSplit will help identify the parting line and create parting surfaces, and then, the full mold tool will be designed. The QuickElectrode solution will automatically extract electrodes from the mold and prepare each electrode for NC programming.

CimatronE will be used to complete NC programming for the entire mold and all of the electrodes. CimatronE's Micro Milling solution will enable the part to be cut by very small tools, in order to reach the required level of accuracy and provide a superior polish-free surface quality in a short machining time.

The exhibit is intended to demonstrate the entire mold making process, showing how different products made by Eurostampi exhibitors work together. CimatronE will be taking mold components from built-in catalogs, in this case Hasco and Meusburger, automatically incorporating components into plates. The mold will be cut on a Makino V33 high speed vertical machining center. The mold maker for this project is Officina Marchetti, a CimatronE customer and leading manufacturer of high production molds for medical equipment and other high precision parts.

Enhancements in the latest version of CimatronE include increased automation for mold design, a quoting application for die design and added flexibility in 5-Axis and High Speed Machining strategies. CimatronE now operates at 64-bits, making full use of available memory and allowing it to handle larger, more complex parts.

Microsystem, Cimatron's Italian subsidiary, will also showcase the new version of GibbsCAM, Cimatron's product line for production. GibbsCAM 2010 provides major enhancements for 5-Axis Milling and 3D solids machining, as well as new plunge roughing.

"Eurostampi's From Project to Object is a great opportunity for visitors to see how technology in general, and CimatronE specifically, can offer serious advantages in terms of shortening delivery times and reaching the stringent quality requirements of the medical industry," said Gianluca Renzi, CTO of Microsystem.

Eurostampi will take place at the Parma Fairground in Italy from March 25th-27th. Microsystem's booth will be located in hall 9, booth K5.
