    CAD solutions

    The basis for automated NC programming

    Save time during NC programming and on the machine.

    • You can use a variety of analysis and preparation functions to optimize CAD data based on the desired milling quality.
    • With parametric CAD templates, you prepare your part for CAM programming with a mouse click.
    • Because Tebis can mill on meshes and surfaces, you can combine digitized and designed part areas.
    • Wizards help you prepare SPECIAL machining operations like ribs, slots and electrode machining.
    • You can derive electrodes from the part geometry using a wizard and prepare them for automatic NC programming and measurement

    CAM solutions

    Reliable, highly automated and flexible at the same time

    Tebis lets you generate efficient and reliable NC programs for all manufacturing technologies that are relevant to mold manufacturing.

    • 2.5D drilling and milling for prismatic machining
    • 3D milling and 5-axis simultaneous machining using modern high-performance tools like circle-segment cutters
    • Wire EDM for inserts
    • and much more, including deep-hole drill machining, rib and slot machining and electrode machining

    Tebis simulation technology is very beneficial: Tebis lets you plan, check and program from end to end using digital twins. The entire manufacturing environment with all machines and tools can be represented in the virtual world on a one to one basis. You retain full control over your machine hall. Only collision-checked NC programs are sent to the machine – an essential prerequisite for multi-machine operation and reduced-personnel manufacturing.

    MES ProLeiS

    Plan, control and evaluate projects

    Our ProLeiS MES software gives Tebis customers a clear picture of scheduled, ongoing and potential projects. This allows you to control your resources, optimize your production performance and ensure on-time delivery.

    MES for planning and control – on-time delivery

    • Pre-planning of your own manufacturing resources like machines for advance detection of scheduling conflicts in order inquiries
    • Manufacturing planning for ideal utilization of your own and external resources on order placement
    • Control and inform all employees in all planned implementation areas by the specified deadlines
    • Registration and documentation of faults for continuous process improvement
    • Registration and visualization of operating and machine data: for example, in the form of dashboards
    • Material management of blanks, finished parts and tools
    • Document management for CAD files, NC programs and all other manufacturing-related electronic documents.

    How mold manufacturing customers use Tebis:

    CAD software specialized for manufacturing 

    Designers, planners and NC programmers use Tebis CAD modules for manufacturing-related design tasks. This goes quickly and is highly automated with parametric/associative surface and solid technology. Creating, supplementing, modifying and improving CAD models ensure large savings – also in subsequent processes.

    High-efficiency roughing

    Compared with conventional roughing, time savings of over 60 percent can be achieved with adaptive roughing using special HPC cutters with very large cutting depths. The path layout is perfectly adapted to the geometry with no full cuts. 

    More...
    HFC milling

    HFC tools allow you to achieve high machining rates at high feed rates. Tebis calculates the residual stock with absolute precision: The maximum amount of possible material is removed. HFC tools can therefore be used optimally with Tebis, not only for roughing but also for prefinishing. 

    More...
    Rib and slot milling

    Automated CAD and CAM functions make rib and slot milling very simple. All areas that are suitable for slot milling are automatically detected by the system and divided into categories, like the bottom, flanks and radii. These areas can then be machined using suitable strategies based on templates.

    More...
    Circle-segment cutters

    Circle-segment cutters have a special geometry that saves you up to 80 percent of the time required for prefinishing and finishing compared to machining with ball cutters. Tebis supports all these kinds of efficient high-performance tools – because each tool can be modeled with precise attention to detail in the virtual CAM environment. 

    More...
    Trimming

    Quickly and reliably generate toolpaths for 5-axis trimming of parts with Tebis. Collisions with other component areas, clamping devices and machine components are excluded. Offline programming lets you avoid tedious teach-in and unproductive use of the machine.
