Access: Open this function from one of the following locations:

Select Wireframe > Modify Curves > Cookie from the toolbar.
-
Select Die Design > Strip Tools > Cookie from the menu bar.
-
Select Cookie from the following Die Design Guide: Strip Design.
In Cimatron, a Cookie is an automatic curve offset and extension. Cookies are especially useful in die design and strip development because they quickly automate the overlap of punch areas; however, the Cookie function has many applications outside of die design. For example, for clearing pocket corners or creating contours for Wire EDM. Cookies can either extend an entire edge or just act in selected corners. Several options in the Cookie function provide complete control over every aspect of the shape and offset distance.
The Cookie function is used for the following purposes:
-
The By Edges option is a cookie (or overcut) used as a method in Die manufacturing that allows users to achieve sufficient overlapping between two adjacent trimming punches.
-
The By Points option is a cookie used to relief internal corners of pockets for Mold sliders and inserts or pockets for die plates.
Below are a few examples of the types of cookies that can be created using this function.
