NC Verification Software Simulates Material Removal-CGTech.(Brief Article)(Product Announcement)

By McPhail, Elizabeth M.
Publication: Modern Machine Shop
Date: Monday, May 1 2000

This software enables users to virtually eliminate the process of manually proving-out NC programs by simulating the material removal process on a computer. The program uses G-codes and CAM output to simulate milling, drilling, turning, wire EDM and mill/turn machining operations. With this software, NC programmers can correct errors and remove inefficient motion before sending part programs to the shop.

It features new technology that enables users to simulate entire CNC machine tools and the complete machining process--integrated with material removal. This capability
