Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR), a global leader in computational intelligence and software solutions, has announced its partnership with Cimatron Ltd., part of the Sandvik Group. This collaboration positions Cimatron as a new global channel partner for Altair, expanding the reach of Altair’s cutting-edge design and simulation solutions within the Altair® HyperWorks® platform.
The partnership aims to revolutionize the manufacturing industry with innovative tools like Altair® Inspire™ Mold and Altair® Inspire™ Form, designed to optimize processes such as injection molding and metal forming.
Expanding Altair’s Simulation Solutions to New Markets
The collaboration with Cimatron will introduce Altair’s advanced simulation technology to a broader customer base, including manufacturers who may not yet utilize simulation or data analytics tools. This move is expected to enhance their ability to compete in a digitally transforming global marketplace.
Pavan Kumar, Senior Vice President of Global Indirect Business at Altair, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “Cimatron is an outstanding addition to our channel partner ecosystem, and we look forward to seeing how customers in the manufacturing space will benefit from this partnership.”
Enhancing Manufacturing with Modern Tools
Cimatron, known for its expertise in the global mold, tool, and die business, sees this partnership as a step forward in delivering modern tools to their customers. According to Dan Marinac, Acting President of Cimatron, customers have been searching for solutions to validate their designs and reduce time and costs associated with physical tryouts.
By combining Cimatron’s deep-rooted expertise with Altair’s state-of-the-art simulation tools, customers will experience boosted productivity and higher-quality products. This partnership enables users across manufacturing sectors to create more efficient designs and improve overall processes.
Bringing “Virtual Prove-Out” to Mold and Die Design
Cimatron sought to bring virtual prove-out technology to its already world-class mold and die design solutions. This approach, which focuses on digital twin technology, allows manufacturers to model, simulate, and improve their designs while exploring alternatives in real-time.
The use of Altair’s simulation technology will help customers predict and avoid a variety of manufacturing defects:
- Filling, packing, and sink marks
- Meld/weld lines
- Cooling and warpage
- Windage, cracks/splits, and wrinkles
- Surface defects and springback
By addressing these challenges early in the design process, manufacturers can save both time and money. Moreover, Altair’s intuitive technology lowers the learning curve, putting the power of simulation into the hands of toolmakers without the need for extensive expertise in computer-aided engineering (CAE).
Cimatron’s Legacy and Global Reach
Founded in 1982, Cimatron is a renowned developer and distributor of CAD/CAM software for the manufacturing industry. Their specialized solutions cater to mold and die makers, as well as manufacturers involved in 2.5-5-Axis production milling and turning.
With a global presence in Asia, North America, and Europe, Cimatron works with certified independent service providers in over 40 countries, positioning itself as a global leader in mold and die design solutions.
