It is used to simulate tool motion and the material removal process, detecting errors or areas of inefficiency in NC programs.
[4] In 2011, CGTech was ranked as the largest independent NC verification and simulation software provider based on revenue, with over 9,000 installed seats.
[6] Vericut is standalone software but also integrates with CAD, CAM, and PLM systems including CATIA, Siemens NX, PowerMILL, EdgeCAM, Mastercam and Hypermill.
[10] Vericut simulates machine tools in their entirety as they would appear in a shop and shows the removal of material at the workpiece level.
[8] Near miss zones can be set up by users around components to check for close calls and over-travel errors.
