Cimatron

Before this, the firm's major shareholder was DBSI,[2] whose co-managing partner, Yossi Ben-Shalom, chaired the Cimatron board.

[3] Headquartered in Tel Aviv, the firm had subsidiaries in the United States, Germany, Italy, China, South Korea, India and Brazil, and resellers in over 40 countries.

[6] The firm was founded in 1982 as MicroCAD, releasing its first software products Multicadd and Multicam in 1984 for use by small- to medium-sized tool shops.

[11] Also Cimatron and LEDAS (LGS 3D owner those days) have collaborated on Motion Simulation application dedicated to mold, tool and die maker design, that is able to work with standard CAD shapes, i.e., canonics and NURBS.

Collision detection was based on functions of ACIS kernel, while motion was performed by LGS 3D as a sequence of constraint satisfaction problems.

[14] In February 2013, Cimatron CEO Danny Haran announced that the firm had begun researching the additive manufacturing field.

In 2010, the CimatronE SuperBox was launched, a combined hardware-software device for the offloading and acceleration of toolpath calculations in NC programming.
