Tebis 4.1 is a parametric-associative CAD/CAM software system developed by Tebis AG, headquartered in Martinsried, Germany. Launched in 2020, it is designed for industries like die, mold, model manufacturing, and production machining, offering a highly automated, seamless platform for manufacturing preparation, design, and CAM programming. Below is a detailed overview based on available information:

### Key Features of Tebis 4.1
1. **Parametric-Associative CAD/CAM System**:
– Combines free-form surfaces, solids, and digitized scan data, enabling comprehensive design and manufacturing tasks in a single system.
– Parametric CAD templates automate design and manufacturing preparation, reducing manual steps like defining bores, tilt axes, fill surfaces, blanks, and clamping setups.
– The hybrid CAD system integrates surface and solid technology, ensuring flexibility and high automation.

2. **Automation and Efficiency**:
– Features a modern, intuitive user interface optimized for CAD designers and CAM programmers, with a structure tree for clear organization of CAD and CAM data.[]
– The Job Manager and NCJob technology streamline NC program creation for milling, turning, drilling, and other processes, minimizing clicks and ensuring collision-free programs.[](
– Supports automation through virtual process libraries (including tools, machines, and clamping devices) and intelligent collision-avoidance strategies.
– Release 4 (R4) emphasizes performance, with NC calculations, machine simulations, and CAD triangulation up to four times faster than previous versions.

3. **Manufacturing Capabilities**:
– Generates toolpaths for multi-axis CNC machining, including drilling, milling, turning, wire EDM, sinker EDM, laser cutting, laser hardening, and laser weld cladding.
– Supports advanced techniques like 6-axis simultaneous interpolation turning and automated machining of planar areas without additional part division.
– Integrates with MES software (ProLeiS) for project planning, resource management, and production optimization.

4. **User Interface and Usability**:
– Optimized in collaboration with users, the interface aligns with logical workflows, reducing learning curves and enhancing productivity.

5. **Data Compatibility**:
– Supports neutral file formats (STEP, VDAFS, IGES, DXF, STL) and proprietary formats (CATIA, Creo, SolidWorks, NX, Inventor, Parasolid, JT, Nastran, AutoForm)

6. **Industry Applications**:
– Widely used in automotive, aerospace, motorsport, energy, medical technology, and consumer goods industries for manufacturing molds, dies, and precision parts.
– Customers like TEH-CUT d.o.o. and Hauk Modell- und Formenbau GmbH report efficiency gains of up to 15% and the ability to handle complex parts with reduced programming time.[]
