Cimatron to offer Altair Inspire's injection molding and metal forming simulation solutions

TROY, Mich., Oct. 10, 2024 -- Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR), a global leader in computational intelligence, has appointed Cimatron Ltd., part of Sandvik Group, as a new global channel partner. Cimatron will amplify the reach of Altair's unique design and simulation solutions within the Altair^® HyperWorks^® platform. These solutions – particularly Altair's injection molding and metal forming solutions, Altair^® Inspire™ Mold and Altair^® Inspire™ Form – are designed to revolutionize the manufacturing industry.

"The collaboration will introduce Altair technology to customers that might not currently be using any simulation or data analytics tools, helping them compete more effectively in a global marketplace defined by cutting-edge digital transformation," said Pavan Kumar, senior vice president, global indirect business, Altair. "Cimatron is an outstanding addition to our channel partner ecosystem, and we look forward to seeing how customers in the manufacturing space will benefit from this partnership."

"Cimatron has deep roots in the global mold, tool, and die business. Our customers have been searching for modern tools to validate their tool designs to reduce the time and costs of physical tryouts," said Dan Marinac, acting president, Cimatron. "Combining Cimatron's and Altair's technology will boost customer productivity and help users create higher quality, more efficient products for all manufacturing sectors."

Cimatron searched for the ideal fit to bring "virtual prove out" to its world-class mold and die design solutions. "Enabling digital twin means modeling, simulating, improving and exploring design alternatives," Marinac said. "Predicting and avoiding manufacturing defects such as filling, packing, sink marks, meld/weld lines, cooling, warpage, windage, forming, cracks/splits, wrinkles, surface defects, and springback will save our customers time and money. Altair's technology reduces the learning curve and puts the power of simulation into the hands of toolmakers without the need for CAE specialists."
