For 30 years CIM-Tech has been offering CAD/CAM software for CNC machines. Router-CIM 2018 users will still enjoy all features of the 2017 version including the most used and acclaimed such as:

  • Tool paths created and saved inside AutoCAD with all AutoCAD commands on the tool paths. No need to DXF out or save drawings to an older version of AutoCAD;
  • All tool paths stored on separate layers, so the DWG contains both design and manufacturing data;
  • Only one system to learn and use; combined design and manufacturing makes for a reduced learning curve
  • Parametric macros included, and you do not need to be a VB programmer to write them. Over 40 MDF door macros and 20 millwork macros are included;
  • Router-CIM post processors available for virtually all machine controllers–supporting the most complex machinery!
  • Powerful advanced nesting features that are only available in Router-CIM;
  • Custom written software can reduce the number of steps between design and manufacturing;
  • Multiple data sources and types: DWG, DXF, macros, 3D solids, surfaces, ellipses, splines, text.

About CIM-Tech.com Inc.

Established in 1986, the founders of CIM-TECH realized that a CNC machine was only as good as your ability to program it. Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) was needed to bridge the gap between CAD and CAM. CIM provides for a seamless solution with a common interface for design and manufacturing. From this basic concept a new company was created.
