International standard for cutting tool data representation and exchange
Global standard for representing and exchanging cutting-tool data using item/feature classes and a maintained electronic dictionary. Addresses machine-readability across tool types.
Advantages
International reach
Unified property dictionary
Broad tooling scope
Considerations
Some item classes are too generic for receiving systems
External overlays (e.g., GTC) emerged to fill gaps
~10% of parameters still misaligned vs. DIN
Integration with StOB
ISO 13399 is fully supported within the StOB framework, enabling seamless integration with modern CAM systems and data management platforms. Our implementation provides enhanced compatibility and extended functionality for manufacturing workflows.
