CIMCO Edit edits, simulates, and sends NC programs. What it does not do is generate them from geometry. If a programmer needs to hand-code a pocket, a contour, or a drilling pattern, they are typing coordinates, calculating offsets, and hoping the math is right. If the shop has a CAM seat, it is likely tied to a specific workstation, shared across more people than it has … [Read more...]

CIMCO CNC-CALC
Joe Hackman, Founder & CEO Joe's TLDR Summary CIMCO CNC-Calc adds integrated 2D CAD/CAM functionality directly to CIMCO Edit, allowing users to quickly create geometry, generate toolpaths, and produce NC programs without leaving the editor. It's an ideal solution for operators, toolmakers, and programmers who need a fast, efficient way to handle everyday 2D machining … [Read more...]
What is CIMCO DNC-Max? A Smarter Way to Manage CNC Communication
In today’s manufacturing environment, efficiency on the shop floor often comes down to how well your machines communicate. Moving CNC programs quickly, reliably, and securely is no longer a “nice to have.” It is essential. That’s where CIMCO DNC-Max comes in. CIMCO DNC-Max is a powerful DNC communication software designed to manage and control the transfer of CNC programs … [Read more...]
Using CIMCO Machine Simulation to Validate Legacy CNC Programs
Many shops still rely on CNC programs that were written years, or even decades ago. These legacy CNC programs may have run successfully on older equipment, but problems can arise when those same programs are moved to newer machines. Differences in machine kinematics, tool setups, travel limits, or work offsets can introduce unexpected issues. Running an old program on a … [Read more...]
Local Support for Arizona Manufacturers — Smart CNC & Data Driven Solutions
Bringing Smarter Manufacturing to the Southwest At Managed Solutions, we believe manufacturing success is built on more than just machines. It’s built on people, data, and strong partnerships. Last month, we announced the relocation of our CNC automation specialist, Kevin Payne, from Southern California to the greater Phoenix area. This move isn’t just about geography, … [Read more...]
CNC Machine Security: The Dangers and Management of USB Devices
I introduced a new feature for this article, since it is quite a bit longer than our usual articles. The information covered here is very important, but maybe you don't have time to read it right now and you want some quick advice. If this is you: This article "almost wasn't". While working on the original, I had an idea. I wanted to explore whether OT-Max could directly … [Read more...]
