CAD Viewer and CAD Import: now you can work with 3-D data directly on the control

CAD Viewer and CAD Import are effective tools for shop-oriented programming. With these tools, program creation on the TNC is both faster and much more reliable thanks to the direct transfer of data from STEP, IGES, and, of course, DXF files.

Download contours and machining positions from 3-D data files

Discover HEIDENHAIN in your Workshop

You’ll find HEIDENHAIN products everywhere in your production:

  • Clearly visible as controls on your milling machines and lathes
  • In special areas of metrology as length gauges, grid encoders and subsequent electronics
  • Invisible as position encoders, inverters or motors in the machine
