CGTech’s Vericut version 9.2 includes enhancements to collision checking and overall performance, more options for optimization on subtractive machining operations, enhancements to reports and more, the company says.
Vericut can simulate both additive and traditional machining (milling or turning) capabilities of new hybrid CNC machines. The simulation is said to verify key additive functions (power settings, material feed versus machine feed rates and more), and makes it easy to identify errors, excessive material overhangs, voids and misplaced material.
Vericut’s additive module also works with Force for additive NC simulation, verification and optimization on hybrid machines for metal additive manufacturing (AM) and machined parts. The software gives users the freedom to arrange additive and machining operations in any order, checking that all setups and holding fixtures work while verifying that the finished part matches the intended design.
The company says that giving the additive simulation software increased simulation and collision checking speed is designed to protect CNC AM equipment. It is said this enables customers to build parts in new and creative ways, and make critical determinations about when those new additive methods will succeed or fail, and thereby give them savings in both time and materials.
