Tebis Launches Upgraded CAD/CAM System
IMTS22: Tebis 4.1 enables users to perform tasks in design, manufacturing preparation and NC programming in a single system.

Tebis recently launched its third release of Tebis 4.1, a complete CAD/CAM system that enables users to perform tasks in design, manufacturing preparation and NC programming in a single system.
A new function specifically for active surface design in die manufacturing that can be used to quickly determine theoretically designed trim edges for flanges in deep-drawing and bending parts. Part material thickness is accounted for which generates precise results with no manual reworking required.
The system also features more efficient finishing and high part quality. Geometries like ribs and grooves with steep flank surfaces, straight bottom surfaces or starting and finishing radii can be machined automatically in three-axis and Z-constant mode and with a uniform step. This is said to ensure excellent part quality because starting and finishing radii can be machined in a single pass without any lifting movements.
Material removal simulation reportedly ensures safer manufacturing and provides another argument for the verification of toolpaths in the CAD/CAM environment before NC output: The material present on the model is accounted for at every point in machining then the blank is checked with updates in real time.
In addition, the system features combined special tools including multiple cutting edge areas with different diameters that can be used flexibly for mill-drilling and thread-milling of bores and circular pockets. The company says this eliminates the need for tool changes and traverse movements with simultaneous process safety.
