Intelligently designed production cycle with software from ISBE<\/h6><\/div>

Consistently digital tool data from sales to production<\/h3><\/div>

TD Sketcher is a software for designing and planning standard and special tools in 2D and 3D. You can use the integrated wizard to describe your tools quickly and easily. From this data record, you not only generate appealing quotation and release drawings, but also automatically generate the digital twins for your production and customers. You can retrieve the necessary and latest formats at any time.<\/p>\n

From the offern in sales to production and quality control – TD Sketcher accompanies your entire digital process chain. Tool manufacturers can use TD Sketcher to intelligently network connected grinding and measuring machines and prepare the tool data once created in TD Sketcher in the commonly used formats for the various work areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The advantages at a glance<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>
1. Intuitive operation \u2013 no CAD required<\/h5><\/div>

TD Sketcher is specifically tailored to the requirements of cutting tools \u2013 easy to use, quick to learn, and ready for anyone who designs, documents, sells, or manufactures tools.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
2. Quotations in the shortest time \u2013 with drawing, 3D model, and cost calculation<\/h5><\/div>

A fast, complete quotation increases the probability of closing \u2013 especially for special tools. Create professional drawings, 3D models, as well as automatic grinding time and cost calculations directly in TD Sketcher \u2013 as a basis for your quotation preparation, without detours through other departments or systems.<\/p>\n

Being faster than the competition is a clear advantage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
3. Data exports according to industry standards \u2013 without additional CAD software<\/h5><\/div>

Export standard-compliant DXF and STEP files according to DIN SPEC 69874, DIN 4003, and ISO 13399, as well as XML according to DIN 4000 \u2013 directly from TD Sketcher, without detours through separate CAD systems. This way, you provide your customers with exactly the data they require for use in tool management and CAD\/CAM systems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>
4. Automated drawing and documentation generation<\/h5><\/div>

Use drawing templates that automatically adjust the layout, predefined tables, custom tool types, and stored parameters (e.g. coolant holes, coatings). This way, consistent, reproducible documentation is created with minimal effort \u2013 including customer-specific layouts at the push of a button.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
5. Scalability for single tools and large data volumes<\/h5><\/div>

Whether targeted search for single tools with TD Selector or automated batch processing with TD Converter: TD Sketcher scales with your requirements. Integration with your own data formats is also possible without difficulty.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
6. Seamless data transfer to grinding and measuring machines<\/h5><\/div>

With GDX\u00ae and XML, you transfer complete tool and measurement data to compatible machine environments \u2013 error-free, without manual input. At the same time, you ensure repeatable results, independent of the operator or the machine.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>

Flexibly expandable<\/h3><\/div>

Thanks to the numerous additional options available, the TD Sketcher<\/strong> can be flexibly and individually adapted to your requirements, making it the indispensable linchpin of your digital production.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/div>

Option 3D<\/h4>3D simulation and standard-compliant exports (DIN 4003, ISO 13399, DIN SPEC 69874)<\/div><\/div>
\n

With the option 3D, you can visualize your tools realistically to verify geometry and feasibility. At the same time, simplified 3D and 2D models can be exported as STEP and DXF files according to DIN 4003, ISO 13399, and DIN SPEC 69874 \u2013 for further use in CAM and tool management systems.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div>

Option TIME<\/h4>Design tools, calculate time and costs, create quotation<\/div><\/div>
\n

TIME automatically calculates tool paths, machining times, and costs \u2013 based on geometry and defined feed profiles. This way, well-founded quotations are created directly during design.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div>

Option TD Selector<\/h4>Find tools quickly \u2013 even in large data sets<\/div><\/div>
\n

The TD Selector enables fast searching and reuse of tools \u2013 even with extensive data sets. By filtering specifically by geometry parameters, you keep an overview and efficiently create new tools based on proven designs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div>

Option DIAMOND<\/h4>Precise design of PCD tools<\/div><\/div>
\n

With the Option Diamond for TD Sketcher, special PCD-tipped cutting tools can be defined and drawn. The properties of the tool are described via an easy-to-use user interface.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div>

Option INSERT<\/h4>Precise design of tools with ISO inserts<\/div><\/div>
\n

The Option Insert for TD Sketcher was specially developed for cutting tools with ISO inserts. With the software, entire indexable insert tools can be designed in just a few minutes by simply entering the outer contour and ISO indexable inserts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div>

Option GDX\u00ae<\/h4>Complete data consistency from drawing to machine<\/div><\/div>
\n

With the GDX\u00aebox, TD Sketcher becomes an end-to-end solution for digital tool manufacturing. Drawings, geometry, measurement instructions, and machine parameters are created centrally and automatically transferred to compatible grinding or measuring machines \u2013 in GDX\u00ae or XML format, standard-compliant and without media disruption.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div>

Option TD Sketcher CAM<\/h4>Generate 3D base body models for manufacturing with one click without CAD<\/div><\/div>
\n

With the Option CAM for TD Sketcher, 3D models with flutes and insert seats can be derived directly from TD Sketcher with the Option DIAMOND. The 3D model is generated as a surface model (STEP). Elaborate designs in CAD are no longer necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div>

Option TD Sketcher Assembly<\/h4>Create complete tools as assemblies and manage them efficiently<\/div><\/div>
\n

With the Option Assembly for TD Sketcher, complete tools can be assembled and visualized from already defined individual tools. The complete tools can later be exported as DIN 4003 and ISO 13399 STEP models for CAM programming.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div>

Option TD Converter<\/h4>Standardized tool data according to DIN\/ISO \u2013 automated from existing sources<\/div><\/div>
