No Maintenance Fees Since 1984

When you purchase our Pictures by PC CAD / CAM software, you acquire a perpetual license. This means that the license can be used on a workstation with no time limit and no annual maintenance costs. The software license is linked to the computer.

Transparent Pricing

Straightforward pricing with no hidden costs. Post processors for standard CNC controls are free of charge and can be generated and modified by the user.

Free Software Support Since 1984

Our customers receive free software support via e-mail and telephone, directly from our software development team (Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm).

At 1st Mold, we make aluminum tools for plastic injection molding. We mill our complex and high-precision forms using Pictures by PC. What we particularly appreciate about Pictures by PC is the ability to program routines to automate the creation of milling programs. It should also be mentioned that all the software’s functions are accessible as source code so that they can also be easily adapted. The support is very competent and helps should questions about programming arise. Even with the software updates, you can see that SCHOTT SYSTEME GmbH takes user requests and information seriously and integrates them into the software.
Elmar Dittrich 1st Mould GmbH
We work at several workstations with the CAD / CAM software Pictures by PC, mainly to undertake our machining tasks (we are a classic injection mould maker). I find the efficiency of the support / service particularly impressive. I was always helped promptly, patiently, competently and in a friendly manner. The topics dealt with went much deeper than just using the software. Suggestions for enhancements are welcomed and taken on board for future versions. We look back on a long-term cooperation with SCHOTT SYSTEME, we consider the strong customer focus of Schott as an absolute added value.
