What is ISO 13399?

ISO 13399:2020 – Cutting Tool Data Representation and Exchange is an international standard developed by ISO and designed for the digital representation of cutting tool information. It allows tool data to be exchanged between systems such as CAD, CAM, CAE, PDM, and ERP without format loss or ambiguity.

This standard is structured in multiple parts, covering various types of cutting tools like drills, milling cutters, reamers, inserts, and holders. It uses a neutral data format based on the ISO 10303 (STEP) model, enabling digital interoperability between multiple stakeholders and systems.

Why is ISO 13399 important?

In today's competitive manufacturing landscape, accurate and timely tool information can significantly influence productivity, tool lifecycle, and machine integration. Here's why ISO 13399:2020 is indispensable:

  1. It eliminates the need for re-entering tool data manually across platforms.
  2. It supports the integration of smart manufacturing systems and digital twins.
  3. It reduces setup time, tool misinterpretation, and potential production downtime.
  4. It enhances communication between tool manufacturers, software vendors, and end-users.
  5. It aligns your operations with global best practices and industry 4.0 standards.

By implementing ISO 13399 through our consulting services, you future-proof your operations and enhance your digital infrastructure.
