CimatronE Electrode

CimatronE Electrode


|Product Overview

CimatronE Master Cimatron delivers the most complete system for designing, documenting and manufacturing EDM electrodes.
CimatronE Electrode provides machining strategies optimized for electrode machining, including parameters to compensate for spark gap and for 2D/3D orbiting.
With built-in milling templates, a complete machining process can be implemented on any geometry with a single mouse click, including dedicated machine processes for ultra-thin electrodes.
