For the connected factory of 2026, Cimatron offers the Toolshop Connect module. This is not just a post-processor but a bidirectional communication bridge. A programmer can assign specific machine tools based on real-time availability and spindle load from the shop floor. Once a program is posted, the software pushes not only the G-code but also a digital twin of the setup, tool list, and inspection points directly to the machine’s control and the operator’s tablet. Upon completion, Cimatron 2026 ingests in-process inspection data and can automatically generate a “finish pass” to correct any detected deviations, closing the loop between design, machining, and metrology.
