CGTech to Exhibit VERICUT Software Version 8.1 at WESTEC

CGTech will demonstrate their newest version of VERICUT 8.1, CNC machine simulation, verification and optimization software at WESTEC in Los Angeles, Sept. 12-14, in Booth 1927. 

In VERICUT 8.1, a new Additive Manufacturing (AM) module has been employed, along with enhanced support for Force™ optimization, Workpiece Sectioning, X-Caliper measurement tool, Report template, and Grinding and Dressing operations. 

New Module: Additive 
VERICUT’s Additive module simulates both additive and traditional machining capabilities used in any order on hybrid CNC machines. Simulating both operations can identify potential problems that can occur when integrating additive methods. The user can access detailed “history” stored with VERICUT’s unique droplet technology, which saves programmers time by quickly identifying the source of errors, in most cases using a single mouse-click. 

This Additive capability checks: accurate laser cladding and material deposition, detects collisions between the machine and additive part, and finds errors, voids, and misplaced material. For the highest accuracy, VERICUT simulates the post-processed NC code that will be used to drive the CNC machine, and ensures proper usage of AM functions and laser parameters. Users can virtually experiment with combining additive and metal removal processes to determine optimal safe hybrid manufacturing methods. 

“Additive Manufacturing applications create new possibilities for manufacturers,” said Gene Granata, VERICUT Product Manager. “Adding this technology to VERICUT provides unique solutions that address the needs of our customers in the rapidly expanding AM market.”
