The TDM 2D-Graphic Editor can be used to easily create and edit DXF tool graphics with ease. The 2D-Graphic Editor can be integrated into TDM as an additional module and ensures simple and reliable working in the familiar TDM environment.
Functions:
- The software makes the precise setting of the zero point for correct tool assembly possible
- TDM-specific functions: Setting max. XS dimension, setting max. YS dimension, setting max. diameter dimension, various viewing modes (tool assembly, item), fast and direct displays, setting and drawing BMG-specific layers, measuring system conversion (metric/imperial)
- Functions for tool contour editing (as of TDM 2018, requires TDM Tool Contour Generator module), such as generating and closing contours
- The Editor can adjust non-graphic elements, such as block references, in the drawing
- Line color, thickness, type, etc. can be flexibly adjusted
- Among others, the TDM 2D-Graphic Editor offers functions for drawing: Line, polyline, dimensioning, circle, shading, text
- Further functions include the following: Properties manager, object snap, grips, mirror, rotate, crop, break, stretch
Benefits:
- Time saving: The TDM 2D-Graphic Editor makes it easy to edit tool graphics. Users access the Editor within the TDM application. This eliminates the need for time-consuming switching to a different CAD system.
- Optimized process: Convenient TDM-specific functions for 2D graphics as per the BMG standard/DIN 69874
- Intuitive operation: Data and graphics can be conveniently entered in TDM. Intuitive operation thanks to usage of standard CAD functions.
The Data and Graphic Generator creates a complete tool data record with little effort. 2D- and 3D-graphics are true-to-scale and simulation-ready.
Functions:
- The generation of 2D and 3D graphics is automated as well as storing the complete master data record in the database of TDM
- Variable predefined parameters
- Automatic assignment of tools into the correct classes/groups
Benefits:
- Save time when entering tool data
- Simulation-ready 3D-graphics
- 2D graphics, and 3D models are consistent and of the same quality
- Flexible parameters
The individual creation of your end mill is made possible by the TDM 3D-Designer for End Mills. The options for part geometries are shaft, trunk, front and flute.
With little effort you can create a 2D- and 3D-graphic, compile the matching parameters and corresponding data record and save them.
Functions:
- Predefined part geometries, such as cylinder shaft according to DIN standards, trunk with ground slot, front and chamfer
- Individual input and adjustment options for parameters
- Automatic creation of tool data record as well as 2D- and 3D-graphics
Benefits:
- Quick and easy creation of individual end mills
- 2D-drawings and 3D-models can be stored internally
- Data and parameters according to the TDM-structure requirements are filed as a data record
- Quick and easy adjustment of existing tools
The 3D-Revolve Generator is an optimal option for converting existing 2D-DXF-tool contour graphics to simulation-ready 3D-models. Item and tool assembly graphics are rotated and can quickly and easily be assembled into a 3D-tool assembly in TDM as a result. The step format is the standard format with which the 3D-graphics are created in TDM. The models can optionally be transferred to CAM-systems with the 3D-Solid Converter.
Functions:
- In a single operation, the module rotates an existing 2D tool contour to create a 3D model in the STEP format that is suitable for use in simulations
- The rotating items can then be assembled in TDM to form a 3D tool assembly and transferred to the CAM systems with the help of the TDM 3D-Solid Converters
Benefits:
- The TDM Tool Contour Generator and TDM 3D-Revolve Generator quickly convert existing 2D tool graphics into 3D models
- 3D models can be used for NC programming and simulation
