You are a CAD/CAM programmer with enthusiasm and master your systems. In addition to technical know-how, you also need tool data. Reliable, comprehensive and fast. However, the time-consuming search for application guidelines, technical dimensions, downloads or even the transfer from lists cost time and nerves! This is exactly where Connected Data comes in, because we have extended our digital service "ToolScout" with a tool data plug-in for the CAM solution MasterCam: In your CAD/CAM software, you receive all necessary tool and cutting data directly and at a click via an interface. In your desired CNC data format, complete and convenient. This means for you: Time savings in CNC programming, always up-to-date technology and product data, error prevention through direct import, as well as a significant reduction in the amount of work involved in CNC programming.

Lengthy searches for cutting data for the tool used in the material used are no longer necessary. Dimensions do not have to be searched for separately in the catalog. The download of CAD models as well as local saving and importing in the CAM system are no longer necessary. The search for tools, including the performance and torque check for the planned machine are carried out by algorithms of the ToolScout. Possible sources of error from manual operations are eliminated. Lots of time savings and production reliability!

You are already working with MasterCam 2020 or 2021. Or you are using the mdm Shopfloor Management. Further CAD CAM systems will be connected successively. You will have access to a system library with comprehensive data for the machining processes drilling, milling and threading. Once installed, you will continuously receive the latest enhancements of data and machining processes free of charge - for installation ask your personal contact person at Hoffmann Group or use the following contact options!
