Easy to use, powerful features

WinTool Professional is the easiest and most powerful solution for technical tool documentation for CNC manufacturing. Tool components, assemblies, and lists are stored in a central database that can be accessed by users in engineering, production, and administration. It is the leading software for tool data storage and processing in CNC manufacturing. The database solution has been designed for simultaneous use in NC-engineering and production. Users can easily specify tool setups (tool IDs, graphic assembly), create tool lists, track tool usage, and integrate their CAM-Systems, presetting gauges, and ERP systems. The modular WinTool solution lets you achieve a robust and error-free tooling process step-by-step and systematically takes care of the complex problems in tooling.

WinTool Interfaces directly to CAM systems, presetting gauges and ERP systems delivering seamless integration into existing company solutions. With WinTool you can build your own component library in record time and systematically generate material-specific cutting data library. WinTool generates graphic tool assemblies quickly including exact collision dimensions.
