An exciting October is behind us – filled with inspiring conversations, new ideas, and a successful trade show experience in Japan.

This November, we’re continuing to focus on making digital tool design smarter, easier, and more efficient.

JIMTOF 2026 – Thank You, Japan!

JIMTOF 2026 has come to an end, and we’re looking back on a successful exhibition filled with valuable conversations, exciting encounters, and new opportunities.

At the heart of our presentation was OneDataFlow – our approach to seamless digital data flow throughout the entire tool manufacturing process.

One of the highlights was our presentation, “Digital Process Chain for Automated Tool Grinding – Manufacturing of the Future,” where we demonstrated how digital tool data connects design, simulation, and manufacturing.

A big thank you to all visitors, customers, and partners who stopped by our booth, shared their ideas, and connected with us.

We look forward to continuing these conversations and building on the connections we’ve made!

💡 TD Sketcher – Small Features, Big Impact!

Design once, reuse multiple times, and automatically apply changes?

With TD Sketcher, everyday design tasks become simpler, faster, and more efficient.

In our video series featuring Max Data, we highlight practical features that make a real difference in tool design.

🔗 Linked Tool Copies – One Change, Multiple Variants

Need the same tool in different versions? What happens when a shared property needs to be updated?

With linked tool copies, related tool designs can be managed efficiently. Changes to shared parameters can automatically be applied across linked variants.

📐 Automatic Scaling of End Geometry

A customer needs an existing tool with a different diameter.

Does this mean manually adjusting every end geometry parameter?

No, when the tool diameter changes, the corresponding length-related geometry values are automatically scaled proportionally – provided they haven’t been manually modified. This saves time and simplifies the design of tools in different sizes.

From data silos to a continuous data flow: OneDataFlow in tool manufacturing

Steffen Kluth | ISBE GmbH

Date: November 12, 2026
Time: 3:45 – 4:15 p.m.

We show how tool data can be used across system and process boundaries and how individual digital solutions can become part of a continuous process chain.
