CIMCO CNC-Calc is a user-friendly software tool designed primarily for CNC machining tasks. It is aimed at operators and toolmakers who are not experts in advanced CAD/CAM systems. The software provides a simple interface to enhance productivity by automating tasks such as drawing, milling, and turning. It also offers features like optimized toolpaths, geometry editing, and the ability to import DXF files for direct toolpath generation.

Key Features

Drawing Tools

• Draw contours using points, lines, arcs, and splines.
• Transform elements (move, rotate, scale, mirror, offset).

Geometry Editing

• Create fillets and chamfers on corner intersections.
• Rectangular and circular bolt hole patterns.
• Trim intersections and snap-to features.

Milling and Turning Operations

• Toolpaths for facing, roughing, contour, constant cut, drilling, etc.
• Letter milling supports simple text and TrueType fonts.

Import and Export

• Import DXF files for direct toolpath generation.
• Export contours for smart canned cycles.

Cutter Compensation

• Supports user-defined cutter compensation types.

Integration

• Integrated with CIMCO Edit for NC code editing and toolpath simulation.

Benefits

Ease of Use

• Designed for users without extensive CAD/CAM experience.
• Simplifies tasks to increase productivity.

Optimized Toolpaths

• Reduces machining time and tool wear.
• Improves surface quality.
