Abstract
The following manuscript offers an explanation about a system and tool database which can increase the effectiveness and practical output of those using 3D profile machines to manufacture Die and Mold. Increased effectiveness is enabled by information that is supplied by the NC operator during the upper manufacturing process. This information sets up the conditions (or choice of tool) for manufacturing. The tool database houses all the data (including figures, elements and the condition of tools) under unified control and, consequently, is able to adjust the choice of tool by defining the aim and status of manufacturing. Working in unison, a CAM system and tool database will increase effectiveness at the place of machine operation.
