What Makes Cimatron
ideal for mold makers?

An integrated solution from quoting to delivery
Cimatron’s CAD/CAM solutions address the entire mold making process—from quoting to design,
applying engineering changes, NC and EDM programming. Nothing is lost in translation, so you
can deliver higher quality tools at lower cost and shorter cycle times.

One-stop dedicated mold design solution—complete any job at record time
Mold makers no longer need to spend valuable time attempting to construct the unique features
of a mold using general-purpose CAD applications or switching between multiple systems. With
built-in data converters, highly flexible mold base configuration options, powerful mold-specific
design functions, and automated BOM creation, you can get the entire design done in a single
environment, allowing you to complete even the most complex job at unprecedented speed.
Flexible automation—the ideal mix of automation and user control

empowering the experienced user with full flexibility to control the entire process. Cimatron’s
Intelligent Toolbox puts the right tool at your disposal at the right time—supporting and speeding
up your natural workflow.
Design in 2D or 3D, using surface or solid operations—it’s your call
2D or 3D, surface or solids are no longer a dilemma; Cimatron supports you whichever way you
prefer to do your design work. Perform surfacing operations on solids and solid operations on
surfaces using a complete hybrid environment to fit your preferences and the task at hand.
Machine any part—from simple to complex, and everything in between
From simple 2.5-axis milling and drilling to complex 5-axis machining and micro milling,
Cimatron provides the full range of NC technologies needed to get the job done

Programs the Mazak Matrix, Integrex, e-Machine, Multiplex, Quick Turn and Super Quick Turn,
Nexus, Smart and the broad range of horizontal
and vertical machining centers as well as all
standard G-code CNCs.

What is it?

As a Mazak user or owner, have you ever wanted to:

• Program Mazatrol programs on your PC or laptop, in the comfort of your own office, and without interrupting running machines?
• Save your valuable programs by storing them onto your PCs hard drive, and retrieve them for later use?
• Communicate with your Mazaks from your PC (upload and download your programs)?
• Program a part once, and then output it to both Mazatrol and G-code post-processed for any other machine (e.g. Fanuc, Fadal, Mazak EIA, Okuma)?
• Take CAD files from customers or engineering and use them to assign the tooling and go directly to Mazatrol or G-code?
• Create CAD drawings from scratch, or edit existing CAD files and go to Mazatrol or G-code?
• Print out Mazatrol programs?
• Covert Mazatrol to G-code for any other control (e.g. Fanuc, Fadal, Mazak EIA, Okuma, etc.)?
• Use only one CAD/CAM system for all your CNCs, Mazak or non-Mazak?
• Use a graphical programming method to program your parts, so that all your trig calculations are automatically done for you.

These are just some of the capabilities that MazaCAM gives its users.

About MazaCAM:

So, what is MazaCAM? MazaCAM is an advanced off-line programming system for the Mazak CNC machine tools. But what does that mean exactly? It means that in addition to the conventional method of programming a Mazak (on the control), you can program your Mazaks completely off-line in your office, or even on the road. This in itself is only a small fraction of the capabilities and features of MazaCAM, these are some of the reasons why MazaCAM is an advanced off-line programming system.

Who uses MazaCAM?

MazaCAM is in use by many large plants such as Boeing North American and Lockheed Martin, but is also utilized in many small job shops, or start-up machine shops. It was developed to be easy-to-use for those new to off-line programming, and yet deliver the power that is needed for those experienced users. Primarily, MazaCAM addresses Mazatrol, but many shops use MazaCAM if they have a variety of controls on the shop floor, Mazatrol and G-code, and need a system that integrate all of them with one system.

What does MazaCAM consist of?

MazaCAM is a complete programming system, seamlessly composed of the following:

• Geopath CAD/CAM — Geopath is SolutionWare’s premier CAD/CAM system. It is very easy-to-use, and gives the Mazak user a complete set of CAD and CAM features. Geopath in itself delivers excellent programming capabilities. For more specific information about Geopath CAD/CAM, see our SolutionWare website.
• Mazak Utilities — Seamlessly integrated into the Geopath CAD/CAM system are SolutionWare’s Mazak utilities. These utilities consist of:
  • MazaCAM File Commander — An intelligent solution that gives programmers a master console for Mazak file management, editing, conversions and communications with Mazak CNCs. For more information please see our MazaCAM File Commander page
  • Mazatrol Editor — The Mazatrol Editor can be used to either write a Mazatrol program from scratch, or to load in existing programs to be edited. The Editor provides one with the standard Mazatrol set of commands. The Mazatrol appears similar to that on the Mazatrol control, but as the Mazatrol Editor is Windows® based, it takes full advantage of Windows features such as pop-up menus, scroll bars and copy-and-paste capabilities. It also gives the user the ability to plot the shape (Shape Check) of the part he is programming. For more information please see our Mazatrol Editor page. 
  • Mazak Communications — Upload and download capabilities to and from the control. Also communicate with the Mazak Microdisk and all popular DNC systems.
  • Mazatrol Conversion — Makes your Mazaks backwards compatible; for instance, take an M-Plus program and instantly convert it to an M-2 program.
  • Mazatrol Program Printing — Lets you print out programs.
