Case Study: Primaform boosts production efficiency and sustainability with Cimatron

Primaform reduces cycle times by 25% with Cimatron

Primaform, a Swiss tool and mold manufacturer, sought to enhance production efficiency and sustainability by fully integrating digitalization across its manufacturing processes. Their challenge was to move beyond individual expert systems and implement a unified, industry-specific CAD/CAM solution to manage complex projects and gain a competitive advantage. This led them to partner with vendor Cimatron and implement its integrated software suite.

The solution involved a comprehensive rollout of Cimatron software, including modules for design, machining, and electrode production, which created a mandatory digital twin for every component. This integration with their IKOffice ERP system provided a consistent data foundation and streamlined workflows. The results for Primaform included highly efficient, automated programming, the ability to machine components autonomously overnight, and a fully digital, paperless environment. Cimatron's tailored functions significantly simplified design tasks and provided the reliability needed for high-precision manufacturing.
