SCHOTT SYSTEME Showcases CAD/CAM Technology at 1st Mould Open Day

Software Meets Rapid PrototypingSCHOTT SYSTEME GmbH would like to express its sincere thanks to the team at 1st Mould GmbH in Pirna, Germany, for hosting a highly informative technology open day. The event provided valuable insight into the company’s comprehensive mould making and rapid prototyping services, showcasing the entire process—from CAD-based tooling design through to pre-production and small-series manufacturing. 

As a long-standing technology partner, SCHOTT SYSTEME GmbH was pleased to be part of this event and offer visitors with live CAD/CAM software presentations. For more than 15 years, 1st Mould GmbH has relied on Schott Systeme’s ‘Pictures by PC’ CAD/CAM software to program its 16 CNC milling machines. By leveraging the software’s open programming architecture, the company has successfully developed its own in-house automation solutions, enabling an almost fully automated machining process for prototyping mould tools.

Since its founding in 2005, 1st Mould GmbH has grown into a comprehensive team of design engineers, CNC machinists, and toolmakers who work closely with their injection moulding department to deliver high-quality rapid prototyping and small-series production—all under one roof.

SCHOTT SYSTEME GmbH looks forward to building on this 15-year partnership and continuing to support 1st Mould GmbH in further optimizing their CNC machining processes, helping to streamline their rapid prototyping operations.

  • We have been doing CNC milling and wire erosion with Pictures by PC for almost 30 years. This software is a very solid tool with an excellent price-performance ratio. Furthermore, the free, competent and very fast support is unbeatable. The post processors can also be adapted to older or exotic controls without any problems. It is great fun to be able to work with this product from SCHOTT SYSTEME.

  • 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.
