Based on SolidCAM’s experience in CNC operations around the world.

This diagnosis reflects real patterns observed on the factory floor.

How the ROI calculator works

1. You provide basic information about your operation

Enter a few simple details about your production, such as the number of machines, productive hours, and operational costs. With this information, we begin diagnosing the efficiency of your shop floor.

2. We calculate accumulated operational losses

Based on the data provided, we estimate losses caused by underutilization, program transfers, rework, and other inefficiencies that directly impact the productivity of your operation.

3. You see the estimated financial impact

We present an estimate of the financial impact of these losses and the recovery potential through integrated digital processes, helping you understand the ROI of improving operations.

CIMCO Edit

CIMCO Edit combines a powerful text editing environment with toolpath simulation and comparison tools, making it the go-to solution for working with G-code.
Advanced Editing Tools – Intelligent NC functions, customizable shortcuts, and an easy-to-use interface designed for fast and efficient code editing.

CIMCO MDC-Max

CIMCO MDC-Max provides real-time monitoring and data collection from CNC machines, and other shop floor equipment, giving manufacturers full visibility of shop floor performance. It automatically records production data, tracks machine status, and delivers actionable insights to improve efficiency at the shop floor.

CIMCO NC-Base

Our manufacturing-oriented Process Data Management module delivers one of the most important steps towards shop floor digitization. Fully integrated into CIMCO Edit, CIMCO NC-Base manages CNC programs, CAM files, CAD models, setup sheets, and production documents in a centralized database accessible to anyone in the company, through a desktop application or web clients.

SolidCAM for Operators

SolidCAM for Operators

SolidCAM for Operators provides machine operators with direct access to CAM data on the shop floor, allowing them to view setup sheets, tool lists, and machining simulations without relying on printed documentation. Instead of relying on programmers or printed documentation, operators can view all the relevant information they need in a controlled,user-friendly interface.

CIMCO DNC-Max

CIMCO DNC-Max provides secure, reliable, and efficient communication between CNC machines and the shop floor network. It is a trusted solution for uploading and downloading NC programs, ensuring revision control, and maintaining a smooth data flow across all types of machines.

CIMCO Machine Simulation

SolidShop’s CIMCO Machine Simulation is a field-proven solution for validating NC programs directly from the G-code, ensuring that what is programmed is exactly what the CNC machine will execute.

Why are CNC
operations reviewing
their processes now?

In recent years, many changes have been putting pressure on the factory floor. The problem is rarely in the machine. It’s in the workflow.
