Software for Data and Graphic Generation

Easy handling of 2D/3D tool graphics and data

Have you heard about digital twin software? No? Maybe you have heard about 3d tool generators for cutting tools. That's basically the same. With our digital twin software, you can create the perfect 2D or 3D copy of your tool and generate models which you can then further use in your CAD or CAM systems.

Our 2D and 3D tool generators optimize your manufacturing processes

For your Tool Lifecycle Management system to work properly, it needs a good data basis. TDM gives you perfect tools for populating your system with data or adding data and graphics to existing systems. Create manufacturer tools – with 2D and 3D graphics. TDM has prepared more than 72,500 tools from manufacturers Sandvik Coromant and Walter on an application-specific basis and equipped them with the modifiable, simulation-ready 3D tool graphics. These tools make your everyday work unbeatable – and us too.

Digital tool data - completely uncomplicated

Would you like to go productive quickly with your TDM application and optimize your manufacturing processes? The TDM WebCatalog makes it possible. In the cloud catalog, you'll find tool data from well-known tool manufacturers quickly and easily, which you can store directly in your database and process further.

TDM modules for data and graphics generation

TDM Data & Graphic Generator ClassiX

A software system is only as good as its data. That's why high-quality tool data and graphics are indispensable for the efficient use of TDM-software. The TDM Data and Graphic Generator is a huge pool of data and graphics from tool items from a wide variety of manufacturers. The software is a generation tool and creates a complete tool data record with just a few clicks, including 2D graphics and 3D models. It is exceptionally well suited for populating a database and for enhancing tool data by adding true-to-detail 3D models for simulation and collision monitoring. Find out more

TDM Collision Data Generator ClassiX

Collision data are enormously important for NC programming users of Siemens NX and CATIA. But to generate them takes a lot of time. The TDM Collision Data Generator belongs to the TDM Data and Graphics Generators (T3D) series and generates the collision data required for NC programming in a few seconds based on the item data. The module uses the technical advantages of the TDM Data and Graphics Generators. For the calculation of the collision data, the parameterized items form the basis. Find out more

3D Special Tools in TDM ClassiX

End mills and step drills are frequently used special tools and are created according to the individual requirements of the user. TDM 3D-Designer offers the functions you need to assemble your individual tool and store it as a data record with 2D and 3D graphics in TDM. Intuitively, with just a few clicks, you can define each step of the tool with the respective geometric features. Find out more

TDM 2D / 3D-Editor ClassiX & Global Line

The TDM 2D/3D-Graphic Editor is designed for easy and fast creation and editing of DXF or STEP/SAT tool graphics. As an additional module for integration into TDM, it facilitates an ergonomic workflow in the familiar TDM environment. Switching to external 2D/3D CAD systems is no longer necessary. Find out more

TDM Tool Contour / 3D-Revolve Generator ClassiX & Global Line

The TDM Tool Contour Generator creates rotatable 2D contours from 2D DXF tool graphics which can then be revolved by the TDM 3D-Revolve Generator. For the user, this results in a simulation-ready 3D tool graphic in STEP format, which can be loaded directly into a CAM/simulation system. As an additional field of application, the TDM Tool Contour Generator also supports CAM systems that revolve 3D graphics from 2D DXF contours directly in the CAM system. Use your tool data in 3D the TDM Tool Contour Generator makes it possible. Find out more
