CimatronE and GibbsCAM Highlighted at Machine Tool Event in Italy

5-Axis and MTM Capabilities Will be Showcased.

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 it will be participating in the open house of the machine tool distributor for Spinner in Italy.

As part of a continuing effort to strengthen partnerships with global machine tool builders, Cimatron's Italian subsidiary Microsystem is working together with UMA machine distributors at their open house in Italy. They will demonstrate the proven results that can be achieved by using Cimatron's two product lines, CimatronE and GibbsCAM, to program various 2.5-5-Axis milling and multi tasking mill-turn machines.

"Cooperation with Machine Tool Builders is a priority for the Cimatron Group," said Kobi Rosenwasser, VP of Global Machine Vendor Partnerships. "We are working together to show that advanced technology is the best response to the difficult economic challenges of 2009. We want to help our customers get ahead of the game this year, so they will be equipped to overcome the crisis."

The Open house has been organized by Utensileria Macchine Attrezzature (UMA), reseller of Spinner Machine Tools, in Bologna, Italy from May14th to 16th.

At UMA Open House, CimatronE will simulate the cutting of an inlet on a Spinner U620 5-Axis machine. The simulation will demonstrate an efficient, gouge-free toolpath used for accurate cutting inside the stock -- leaving the stock's external structure intact.

CimatronE will also program the cutting of three parts on a Spinner DMH 3-Axis high speed milling machine. These include a copper electrode and two molds made of STAVAX(R) and TOOLOX33(R) Materials, respectively. The live cutting will demonstrate the accuracy and high surface quality CimatronE can achieve in many different materials at high speed.

GibbsCAM will program the turning and cutting of a hollow punch on a Spinner TC400 Machine with a motorized C-Axis. The live production of this hardened steal part will show the efficiency of GibbsCAM MTM programming, and the high quality finish that can be achieved.

In addition, Renishaw will be showcasing their Productivity+ GibbsCAM plug in, which integrates the creation of probing cycles with the creation of metal cutting tool paths within GibbsCAM.
