Comprehensive standard for cutting tool data exchange and integration
Overview
StOB (Standard OpenBase) is a data format developed by CIMSOURCE and partners to enable seamless, standardized exchange of cutting tool data across CAD/CAM and NC process chains. It implements DIN 4000 and ISO 13399 standards and serves as the backbone for platforms like ToolsUnited, ensuring interoperability and consistency in digital manufacturing
