From CAD/CAM

to Tool Assembly

Digitizing of manufacturing industries is one of the distinct
technological breakthroughs stimulated by the “fourth industrial
revolution” - the implementation of INDUSTRY 4.0 standards.

The ISO13399 standard specifies data representation provided by a tool producer. From process planning
for cutting tools and tool holders, in a manner that will technologists, tool design engineers and CNC
ensure platform independence universally. programmers to application specialists and sales
The main target is to create a computer representation managers - all might spend hours adopting tool
of the tools and the holders that is unified and manufacturers tool data to the customer's software.
understandable for various elements of metalworking Data transfer is conducted via a STEP file with .p21
technology, whether they are real or virtual, including extension, which stores text code related to the
computer aided design and manufacturing parametric values of the product. In addition,
(CAD/CAM) systems. the .p21 file provides the name of the 3D file of
a specific product. ISO13399 stipulates the .p21
Immediate and simple access to digitized tool data file which can be transferred between computer
has become of strategic importance in the service platforms for CAD and CAM users.
