New TopSolid’Cam Interface for VERICUT
Missler Software and CGTech announced the upcoming availability of a new interface between TopSolid'Cam and VERICUT to improve machine simulation visualisation. The new interface offers important productivity gains to TopSolid'Cam and VERICUT users. Target customers are in fact often users of the 2 software solutions in the aerospace field, working with large mechanical parts, or involved in the machining of prototype parts. Such companies work with multifunction machines or large machining centres and use expensive raw materials.
The new interface between TopSolid'Cam and VERICUT in fact allows VERICUT to be opened directly from TopSolid'Cam. All information relating to the part, the stock and the tools used are transferred directly from TopSolid'Cam, thereby eliminating the need to input a second time all of this information.
“The interface between TopSolid'Cam and VERICUT is very important for our customers who need to work increasingly quickly in order to stay competitive." explains Mr. Deniset, Director of CGTech France. “This interface enables our customers to open VERICUT directly from TopSolid while they are working with TopSolid'Cam. This insures a maximum level of integration and interoperability is maintained. In general, it is important for CGTech to work closely with CAD/CAM developers. Missler Software is a CAD/CAM leader on the global market and we are very happy to collaborate closely with the French developer."
The collaboration between Missler Software and CGTech is also important for Missler Software. According to Dominique Laffret, Vice-President of Strategic Relations for Missler Software «In fact we have many customers in common with CGTech. The new interface offers important time gains to these customers when using VERICUT which thereby results in a competitive advantage for these companies. This interface will also help us attract new customers in the future. The development of a direct link towards VERICUT is also an important step in the verification of the ISO code generated by TopSolid'Cam post-processors. The part and machine environment simulation already provided by TopSolid'Cam together with the advanced ISO simulation provided in VERICUT will no doubt help reduce potential collisions."
