Information

CAM-TOOL Version 21 – Precision Evolved CAM-TOOL is the leading CAD/CAM software for high-accuracy 3D machining, trusted by mold and die professionals worldwide. Introducing Version 21 – Coming Soon: AI-Driven Cutting Optimization – Now considers protruding tool length for smarter, more efficient machining. Automated Flat Bearing Creation – Instantly generates drilling surfaces on curved models, eliminating time-consuming manual modeling. Advanced 5-Axis Roughing – New Delete Air-Cut and Auto Clearance functions streamline programming and improve undercut machining. Built-In Machine Simulation Enhancements – Interference checks between tool change points and initial tool positions, combined with stock model verification, deliver seamless and accurate motion validation without the need for external software. CAM-TOOL V21 delivers faster programming, greater machining safety, and reduced rework — all while ensuring the surface accuracy and finish quality mold builders demand.
CAM-TOOL BY CGS NORTH AMERICA1737CGS North America is the leading North American reseller of two powerful software solutions: CAM-TOOL CAD/CAM Software and Quick Quote Mold Quoting Software. CAM-TOOL, a leading surface-based CAM system designed for high-precision 3D machining. Renowned for producing ultra-accurate toolpaths, CAM-TOOL excels in machining hardened steels with long length-to-diameter ratio tools, offering advanced 3-axis and 5-axis strategies tailored for mold and die applications. The upcoming Version 21 release introduces powerful enhancements, including improved AI-powered cutting condition computation that optimizes feeds and speeds based on the tool’s protruding length, ensuring superior performance even with complex tool geometries. A new automated command streamlines hole machining by generating bearing surface shapes on curved surfaces directly from the Hole Entity, eliminating manual modeling and boosting efficiency. Version 21 also enhances 5-axis roughing with optimization features like “Delete air-cut” and “Auto clearance,” automatically handling air-cut removal in undercut regions for faster, more efficient toolpaths. Additionally, the advanced machine simulation now includes interference checks using the Stock Model from prior processes, uniquely verifying movements from the tool change position to the initial tool position—a feature typically requiring external software but now seamlessly integrated into CAM-TOOL. Visit us at CMTS to experience how Version 21 delivers precision, efficiency, and innovation for your machining needs. Quick Quote, on the other hand, is a dedicated mold quoting software designed to dramatically reduce the time and effort involved in generating accurate estimates. It automatically detects ribs, slides, lifters, and moldable areas, dynamically adjusts mold base sizes and components, and creates professional quotes in minutes. Quick Quote helps mold shops manage costs with categorized expenses, visual data, and detailed reports—ensuring clarity and confidence in every estimate. Visit our booth to experience live demonstrations of both solutions. Whether you're looking to improve your machining precision with CAM-TOOL or streamline your quoting process with Quick Quote, our team will be available to answer your questions and help you find the right fit for your business.
