GibbsCAM Supports ISO 13399 and Integrates Adveon(TM) Tool Library

MOORPARK, California, July 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

    Cimatron Limited (NASDAQ: CIMT) announced today that Gibbs and Associates, developer
of GibbsCAM [http://www.GibbsCAM.com ](R) software for programming CNC machine tools and a
Cimatron company, has developed a partnership with Sandvik Coromant to integrate the
Adveon(TM) Tool Library application. Adveon has been developed in compliance with ISO
13399, which defines cutting tool data representation and exchange. ISO 13399 allows the
accurate exchange of tooling data among computer aided applications that support and
adhere to the standard, including CAD, CAM, CAE, PDM, PLM and tool management systems.
Gibbs and Associates will begin marketing Adveon integrated with GibbsCAM immediately, and
begin shipping it with the GibbsCAM 2015 release. Adveon will initially support milling
tools, and incorporate turning tools when the data becomes available. GibbsCAM users with
current software maintenance will receive Adveon free of charge. Gibbs will demonstrate
Adveon at IMTS 2014, September 8-13, at McCormick Place in Chicago, Booth E-3310.

    Adveon for GibbsCAM allows users to develop their own tool library, selecting from
tools they use daily. While having all tooling data at users' fingertips provides them a
greater understanding of available tooling choices, having an overview of available
tooling provides them flexibility in selecting and maintaining the assortment of tools in
the library. The ISO 13399 cutting tool data representation and exchange standard lets
GibbsCAM users work with tools from any supplier and assures accuracy of geometric
information. Users can quickly and easily create tool assemblies, see immediate
representations in 2D and 3D, and use them for simulation with GibbsCAM's integrated Cut
Part Rendering and Machine Simulation.

    The Adveon Tool Library provides three inter-related functions. First, a specially
formatted library (based upon ISO 13319) allows customers to download or enter data for
tooling items, including tool holders, adapters, cutting tools and inserts, to create a
master catalog. A second function enables users to collect and categorize the various
tooling items they use, while the third allows them to quickly and easily create tool
assemblies from these components. Applications which support the standard, can then access
the cutting tool assemblies without further searching or definition.

    "We applaud Sandvik's leadership and initiative in implementing ISO 13399 with Adveon,
and look forward to our partnership in delivering a great time-saving solution to
manufacturers everywhere," said Robb Weinstein, Senior Vice President of Sales and
Strategic Planning of Gibbs and Associates. "Adveon is a perfect fit with GibbsCAM, which
has the inherent ability to associate specific tools with machining processes and the
parts and part features the tools cut, to facilitate fast CNC programming and even faster
engineering changes."
