Features:

Our HELITRONIC TOOL STUDIO grinding software is the proven CAD/CAM software for current and future tool industry market needs. It allows for all tool parameters from design to production to be edited.


Through its "Walter Window Mode" eroding software and "HELITRONIC TOOL STUDIO" grinding software, WALTER covers the full range of rotationally symmetric PCD/HM tools, enabling the user-friendly programming of these tools.
To sum up the benefits of HELITRONIC TOOL STUDIO for eroding in one sentence, it would be: “If it can be ground, it can also be eroded"


On our website you will find an overview of tools that can be ground, eroded, and lasered using a WALTER tool processing machine. This list is not exhaustive and is constantly being expanded.
