Router-CIM Automation Features


  • Tool and cut time study: Customizable tool life and time study spreadsheet included! Analyze your tool life and get accurate time studies using Router-CIM. Our tool life and time study spreadsheet computes the acceleration / deceleration curve to provide accurate cutting times. Using this tool, you can figure your job costs and labor hours required. Best of all, the spreadsheet is customizable by the user!


  • Material Yield Report: Customizable material yield report is automatically saved as an Excel Spreadsheet for you. Analyze your yields and compare the savings you get with Router-CIM.


  • Cuts AutoCAD 3D solids, MDT, and Inventor solids: Now you can cut Solid models right inside AutoCAD or Mechanical Desktop. We include an Inventor link that transfers a model, assembly, or drawing view directly into Router-CIM. Router-CIM will pick up the cutting depth directly from the Solid model.

  • Includes 3D machining for solids and NURB surfaces: Competitive software packages charge over $5000 for this option (if they even have it); we include it at no additional charge and can even automate the cutting process with layer to knowledge!


  • Works With Inventor Solids: Powerful commands make working with 3D solids a snap. If you use Inventor, Router-CIM offers the additional capabilities. Automatic part lay flat command will flatten all the solids facing up, ready for machining. Automatic feature recognition is also built in and getting more powerful each version.


  • Includes bar-coded and bitmapped labeling: Our labeling utilizes the latest Avery software (included) and works with any printer. Out labels are fully customizable and we have 10 user definable label fields that can be imported from spread sheet or CSV files. We also make a laser projection .dxf file to support overhead laser part projection.




About Us

CNC Software Solutions by CIM-TECH

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 Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). CIM provides for a seamless solution with a common interface for design and manufacturing. From this basic concept a new company was created, CIM-TECH.
