Software will transform CNC programming, cutting costs and errors
4 August 2025 
Siemens claims that it going to transform shopfloor CNC programming with a software development that combines 3D analysis with the ability to program directly at CNC control panels, thus improving production efficiency, precision and quality. The Optimize MyProgramming /3D Scanner software is designed to be integrated into Siemens’ Sinumerik Operate CNC programming platform, allowing users to create and optimise programs at the controller without needing extra training.
Siemens says the software will set new standards in CNC programming, and will allow manufacturers to create higher-quality products that result in more efficient production processes.
The software transfers geometric information from 3D CAD models into CNC programs, eliminating the need for cumbersome and error-prone manual input. As well as saving time and costs, this also allows better parameterisation of machining cycles, prevents programming errors, and ensures consistently high production quality.
The 3D Scanner will offer customised suggestions for manufacturing strategies based on an application’s geometric features..
Siemens says that by integrating the software into their machines, builders will be able to make their products more attractive and win customers through measurable efficiency and quality advantages.
It has piloted the software with the machine tool manufacturer DMG Mori, demonstrating how it can improve manufacturing processes and be integrated into existing systems. The software will be offered as an option for all DMG Mori machines equipped with Siemens’ Sinumerik One CNC system.
Siemens will be demonstrating the technology at the EMO metalworking trade show in Germany in September.
From autumn, 2025, the Optimize MyProgramming /3D Scanner will be offered as a perpetual license for machine tools, and also as an option for Siemens’ digital twin systems based on its Run MyVirtual Machine platform.
The software is part of the Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio, enhancing it with advanced technologies for optimising manufacturing processes.
