Automated generation of CNC programs for customer-specific drilling cycles. Complex drilling cycles can be modelled using the CAD software Pictures by PC from SCHOTT SYSTEME GmbH and its integrated programming language, BIX.

SCHOTT SYSTEME GmbH would like to express its sincere thanks to the team at 1st Mould GmbH in Pirna, Germany, for hosting a highly informative technology open day. The event provided valuable insight into the company’s comprehensive mould making and rapid prototyping services, showcasing the entire process—from CAD-based tooling design through to pre-production and small-series manufacturing.

Managing directors Mr. Stefan Müller (NCmind GmbH) and Mr. Gunther Wamser (SCHOTT SYSTEME GmbH) have recently met in Weilar at NCmind, a milling machine manufacturer, for an engaging technology exchange day focused on bringing digital innovation directly to CNC milling machines.

Since launching its CAD/CAM software "Pictures by PC" in 1984, Schott Systeme GmbH has essentially developed its entire product portfolio in-house. The company moved shortly after their founding to Munich, which is often referred to as the "German Silicon Valley," where the development of all of the their software innovations have been implemented ever since.
