Tooling development and NC machining often trail product design, resulting in a sluggish lag in the development process and an unnecessary waste of time and money. Although this is often the way production works, it doesn’t have to.

What if your production software was as central to the product development process as design? What if production and design operated on the same digital model, within the same user environment?

With Pro/ENGINEER Production software you can create tooling, NC tool paths, and inspection programs in parallel with product design work. By sharing and directly referencing designs, production and tooling engineers are brought into the process early and can influence design decisions prior to release.

And with full associativity capabilities, changes can be made at any stage of the process – early or late, initiated by industrial designers or on your own shop floor – and all work updates automatically, with no data translation worries

Reuse best practices and processes and save optimized manufacturing strategies as templates for reuse.
Visualize and verify tool paths with material removal.
Automatically propagate change throughout all deliverables with native, integrated CAD/CAM solution from conceptual design to tooling and manufacturing.
Machine 2D and 3D data, including direct machining of STL data, Pro/ENGINEER, IGES, DXF, STEP, and CATIA with the ATBII.
Support all manufacturing process including milling, turning, wire EDM and sheetmetal.
