Irvine, California – Vericut version 8.1 CNC machine simulation, verification, and optimization software simulates all types of CNC machining, additive, and hybrid manufacturing processes. It operates independently, but can also be integrated with leading CAM systems.
By optimizing toolpath feed rates, Vericut’s Force module reduces machining time, increases tool life, and produces a higher quality finished product. Graphs and charts are enhanced to display in real-time, revealing cutting conditions and forces as they are encountered by cutting tools. This helps NC programmers see machining in a more analytical way, and immediately identifies undesirable cutting conditions. Spikes in the graphs show when forces, chip loads, tool deflection, and material removal rates exceed a tool’s recommended performance parameters. With one click on the chart, the responsible NC program record is identified and the graphics area displays the corresponding cut helping NC programmers to better understand cutting processes.

Several new modules have been added including: additive, grinder-dressing, and teamcenter interface. Many enhancements improve Vericut’s core functionality such as: easier sectioning that extends to machine views, X-caliper dimension labels displayed with models, new report template editor, and easier G-code offsets.
