Description

The Cutting Tool Definition (CTD) is an open, internationally coordinated standard for the structured and machine-readable description of cutting tool geometries. It enables consistent definition of geometry elements and measurements across manufacturers and systems, forming a universal language for tool data in digital manufacturing. 

CTD complements the OPC UA Companion Specification OPC 40504 UA for Cutting Tools, providing a reliable data foundation for CAD/CAM systems, quality assurance, machine controls, and measurement technologies. The standard is publicly accessible and designed for broad industry adoption. 

Defined in VDMA 34189: 

  • Basic concepts and general definitions 
  • Geometry definitions for round tools 
  • Specifications for milling cutters, drills, and reamers 
  • In progress: definitions for grinding wheels and wheel packs 

Developed by an international working group including: 

  • Machine tool builders 
  • Measuring machine manufacturers 
  • Software vendors (CAD/CAM/QA) 
  • Cutting tool manufacturers and end users 

Benefits for Industry: 

  • Unified data structure across the entire process chain 
  • Seamless integration into existing software environments 
  • Enhanced transparency and efficiency in tool management 
  • Future-proof foundation for AI-driven applications and smart manufacturing 

Experience it live at EMO Hannover 2025: 

Learn how CTD contributes to the future of tool data communication, as an open and interoperable standard designed to support real-world production environments.
