CGTech Simulation Software Optimizes Machining Operations
Eastec 2023: Vericut detects errors and potential collisions in NC programs prior to running them on machines for the first time, so programmers can send programs to a machine with the confidence that they’ll run without incident.

CGTech’s Vericut simulation, verification and optimization software is capable of simulating multiple types of machining operations such as traditional milling and turning to additive or hybrid manufacturing, as well as composites. CGTech showcases Vericut at Eastec 2023 in booth 5459.
Vericut detects errors and potential collisions in NC programs prior to running them on machines for the first time, so programmers can send programs to a machine with the confidence that they’ll run without incident. According to CGTech, the simulation reduces or even eliminates the manual prove-out process, streamlining the manufacturing timeline and freeing up additional machining capacity.
In addition to its core simulation capabilities, Vericut also offers more modules to meet different needs. Force is Vericut’s physics-based optimization module that dynamically adjusts feed rates and spindle speeds based on the current cutting conditions to reduce machining times, provide better component finishes and extend tool life. Users can choose to prioritize more efficient machining to increase throughput, or to prioritize tool life for more difficult cuts.
During Eastec, users can also get a demonstration of one of Vericut’s newest modules: CNC Machine Connect. This module enables users to conduct a pre-check, verifying that the physical machine setup matches what was simulated in Vericut. If different values are detected, operators can quickly run the simulation with the updated parameters to verify that there are no issues or errors without having to send the program back for corrections.
