CAD/CAM Strategies for Universal Manufacturing

Tebis America, Inc. (Troy, MI), which specializes in CAD/CAM systems for the tool, die, mold, aerospace and automotive manufacturing, offers Version 4.0 to meet the demands of a universal manufacturing industry. With a completely redesigned look and sales model, this release offers multiple industry-specific bundles, along with 56 different additional combination possibilities to fit the size and ability of a user. These scalable levels – labeled Standard, Pro and Premium – are intended to create an exact fit for a manufacturer’s CAD/CAM/NC process chain.

The “One Shoe Fits All” approach has been replaced by an affordable price structure that smaller companies can benefit from the solutions Tebis provides. Each performance level brings an increase of capabilities, strategies and solutions to the operators. The Standard version is an affordable, entry solution that fits most shops. Shops that use standard 3-axis NC milling machines and utilize low-end CAD/CAM tools will be able to acquire the power of Tebis at similar pricing. The Pro version is ideal for mid-sized shops that are utilizing multi-axis (more than 3-axis) machines and demand a higher level of automation for their operation. The Premium package delivers the complete solution package, making the highest automation and highest strategies available.

No matter if a company chooses the Standard, Pro or Premium version, the same high quality surface finish and high level of efficiency solutions are immediately available. Each of the versions utilizes the same new visual design in order to enhance the experience. From its new intuitive access to functions, to its self-explanatory icons and increased feedback for the operator, each level performs without sacrificing tried and proven features. The new interface design keeps the operator focused and fully in charge of delivering the parts with higher efficiency. The change of its minimized color palette was highly analyzed and tested in order to reduce the stress on the eyes so that the operator displays more energy at the end of the day, all the while increasing throughput by using new streamlined menus and functions. For the first time, an operator can create their own look and feel of the software for easier learning and faster solutions.
