New Cimatron Logo and Brand
The primary focus of
the new logo is innovation. This is reflected visually – the "C"
is updated from a graphic based on wire-frame to a "solid" 3D
graphic. You can also see the word innovation replacing the focus on
CAD/CAM solutions: our message is that we offer innovative solutions to all
the requirements of a toolmaker – "From Quoting to Delivery". At
the same time, we kept "Cimatron" the
same – we are a solid, knowledgeable company, tuned into the needs of our toolmaking customers, with trust, experience and
customer support – built up globally – over the past 23 years
