cutting tool design

[bagaroz]

Good morning.
I haven't written on this forum a bit, but I need advice.
I find myself having to put my hand at the company design system for which I work, which produces monolithic cutting tools (the classic cylindrical mill in hm to understand us). We currently use an unparalleled 2d system.
real design is made with dedicated software, such as what I carry below http://www.walter-machines.com/it/prodotti/software/helitronic-toolstudio.html that in practice are specially built cams on the tool machine with which the tool is realized.
If I had to draw and quote a tool to create a constructive design then what could you recommend? I to be honest with a cad 3d "mechanical" I do not imagine the realization of a tool in a parametric way and of a table with the quotas characteristics of a tool

That's not true. for a period I worked in a company that produces tools for wood. at that time they were introducing the 3d and all the management and parameterization system needed. inserting the specific data in the management 3d generated the tool and then sent it to the cam. obviously there is always control at each step.
is a system that requires a waste of time and costs, but is still feasible

I agree but it depends very much on the complexity of the tool, angles of stripes, cutting edges, are not so obvious to model in 3d, I got to bang the head too and it is not as simple as it may seem, because the cads do not simulate the movement of the tools and many processing are practically impossible to perform, the geometry that comes is staggered compared to the cam.
