Pro/TOOLMAKER 5-Axis Option

Pro/TOOLMAKER 5-Axis Option offers simultaneous 5-axis high-speed machining capabilities to help you optimize your tooling design and manufacturing processes. This powerful add-on module provides mold and die manufacturers with industry leading, high-speed precision machining capabilities for complex geometries in the same easy-to-use, reliable Pro/TOOLMAKER user interface. Now you can take advantage of the innovative 5-axis CNC machines with an advanced, comprehensive yet easy-to-use application to deliver higher quality, complex parts faster.

And, as with Pro/TOOLMAKER, you can still work with data from any CAD system, create associative NC toolpaths directly from CAD models, and leverage concurrent engineering. The result: you have faster, more powerful capabilities to increase product quality, reduce scrap, and shave production time and costs for any design.

Benefits

  • Fast, powerful 5-axis simultaneous milling capabilities for mold and die machining of even the most complex geometries
