VERICUT

VERICUT is a CNC simulation and verification software offered by CGTech. According to the vendor, it is designed to save time and increase quality for CNC programmers, machinists, and manufacturing engineers in small to large companies, spanning industries such as aerospace and automotive sectors.

Key Features

Save Time: According to the vendor, VERICUT can help reduce or eliminate prove-outs, saving machine tool, operator, and part programming time. It aims to decrease time-to-market by reducing the time required for verification processes.

Increase Quality: The vendor claims that VERICUT allows users to verify the dimensional accuracy of machined parts and optimize tool paths for improved finishes on surfaces and edges.

Save Money: According to the vendor, VERICUT can help reduce or eliminate the cost of machine tool crashes, rework, scrapped parts, and damaged tooling, fixtures, and clamps.

Increase Productivity: The vendor states that VERICUT can help reduce machining times by optimizing tool paths and minimizing interruptions in production.

Build Confidence: According to the vendor, VERICUT allows users to test part programs on a computer to ensure they run correctly before running them on the machine. It aims to instill confidence in the accuracy of the simulation and verification results.

Conserve Resources: The vendor claims that VERICUT can help reduce machine tool wear by optimizing tool paths and minimizing unnecessary movements. It also aims to reduce cutting tool wear, allowing tools to be used longer before needing replacement or regrinding.

Improve Safety & Training: According to the vendor, VERICUT enables training programmers, operators, and students without using machine tool time or risking collisions. It aims to reduce the risk of dangerous and costly collisions by simulating and verifying part programs.

Improve Documentation: VERICUT, according to the vendor, enables operators and managers to preview all machining operations. It provides a visual representation of the machining process for better documentation and communication.

Simulate entire CNCs to check for collisions: The vendor claims that VERICUT accurately simulates the real machining environment and process, including multi-axis and rapid motion. It aims to detect and prevent collisions between tool holders, fixtures, and machine components.

Compare "as-machined" cut part with the original design model: According to the vendor, VERICUT allows users to verify the accuracy of the machined part by comparing it with the original design model. It aims to ensure that the part produced matches the intended design specifications.
