• Where it wins

  • Combines parametric surface and solid design with manufacturing preparation
  • Supports 2.5D, 3D, 5-axis milling, turning, and turn-milling
  • Includes simulation, collision checking, templates, and process libraries

• Where it doesn't

  • The displayed €23,500 price is a substantial one-time commitment
  • The published package is centered on a Turn-Mill configuration
  • Runs on Windows workstations rather than multiple platforms

Our verdict on Tebis

Tebis is modular CAD/CAM software for manufacturing organizations working in die, mold, model, automotive, aerospace, and production machining. Its CAD tools cover parametric and associative surface and solid design, manufacturing preparation, reverse engineering from mesh and digitized data, active-surface design, sheet-metal forming, and two-way CAD data transfer. The broader system extends into milling, turning, turn-milling, NC simulation, collision checking, and manufacturing automation. It is aimed at small and medium-sized manufacturers as well as larger industrial operations that need CAD and CAM capabilities in one manufacturing-oriented environment.

Pricing is structured around a one-time purchase rather than a conventional recurring plan. The published €23,500 amount applies to the Turn-Mill Package, which includes CAD for CAM data preparation, database-supported CAM programming with a virtual machine, a tool database with technical data, NC simulation with collision checking, and online training. That package makes the entry point clear for organizations evaluating turn-mill workflows, but the amount should not be treated as a general price for every Tebis CAD/CAM configuration. Buyers should match the package scope to their required modules and manufacturing processes before committing.

Tebis also fits established engineering environments through interfaces and file formats for CATIA V5, NX, SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA V4, Creo, Parasolid, VDAFS, STEP, JT, Nastran, VDAIS, STL, HPGL, and Autoform. Its strongest case is a manufacturing team that values machining depth, virtual-machine simulation, collision checking, and reusable process libraries alongside CAD. Organizations seeking a lower-cost, narrowly focused CAD tool, or support beyond Windows 11 64-bit workstations, should consider alternatives instead.
