About Us
Digital Solutions for Modern CNC and CAM Processes Require Experience and Technical Depth
Pimpel supports companies in building CAM, CAM automation, and digital twins in a way that works in daily operations. Our focus is where the machine, programming, and manufacturing process must be brought together properly.
Who We Are
Technical Experience Has Evolved into a Partner for Modern CNC and CAM Processes
Pimpel comes from the world of CAD/CAM, machine context, and production. That is why we do not see digital manufacturing as a collection of isolated software solutions, but as the interaction of machine, programming, and the real manufacturing process.
Our goal is not to add more complexity, but to create technical and organizational clarity. For us, solutions are good when they work reliably in the plant, reduce the burden on employees, and contribute to more stable manufacturing processes.

Personal commitment
In the end, it has to work on the shop floor.
Since 1996, we at Pimpel have been working on one central question: how can software, machines and people work together better in manufacturing? A lot has changed over that time. My benchmark has not: a solution has to work in day-to-day production.
That is why my goal is not to sell a customer as much software as possible. We need to understand how their manufacturing operation works, where unnecessary effort is created, and what will actually help from both a technical and organizational perspective.
That also means saying openly when a smaller solution makes more sense than the project originally planned. Trust is not built through the biggest order, but when decisions still prove to be the right ones months and years later.

What Sets Us Apart
Four Principles That Shape Our Work
We see ourselves not just as a software or consulting provider, but as a partner for CAM, CAM automation, and digital twins in CNC manufacturing. These four principles shape our work in projects, training, and day-to-day collaboration with customers.
Practical Relevance
Our solutions are not built from theory alone, but from the requirements of real manufacturing environments. Machines, time pressure, responsibilities, and existing workflows are considered from the start.
Orientation
We help classify complex topics properly and put them into a meaningful sequence. This creates clear decision-making foundations instead of additional uncertainty.
Technical Depth
We do not approach CAD/CAM, machine logic, simulation, and digital processes superficially, but with technical rigor. In demanding manufacturing environments, that depth is essential.
Impact in Daily Operations
Our goal is not solutions for presentations, but solutions that stand up in everyday operations. What matters is that they are not only introduced, but remain usable over time.
Team & Culture
Collaboration with Technical Substance
Behind Pimpel is a team working close to CAM, CNC machines and manufacturing processes. We speak openly about possibilities and limits, check solutions professionally and develop them so they can stand up in daily operation.
Technical Substance
We work on the foundations of digital manufacturing processes, not just on visible surfaces. Our focus is on what truly has to be robust in operation.
Shared Thinking
Good solutions emerge where software, process, and people are thought about together. For us, this connection is the basis for effective digitalization.
Industrial Grounding
Our work is guided by what has to hold up in day-to-day production. What matters is not how convincing something looks in a presentation, but how reliably it works in practice.
