CGTech to Exhibit Latest Release of VERICUT at WESTEC
CGTech will exhibit version 7 of VERICUT CNC machine simulation and optimization software at the SME WESTEC show:
WESTEC Booth 2400 Los Angeles, CA March 23-25, 2010
VERICUT Product/Function Overview:
VERICUT is CNC machine simulation, verification and optimization software that enables users to eliminate the process of manually proving-out NC programs. It reduces scrap loss and rework. The program also optimizes NC programs in order to both save time and produce higher quality surface finish. VERICUT simulates all types of CNC machine tools, including those from leading manufacturers such as Mori Seiki, Mazak, Makino, Matsuura, Hermle, DMG, DIXI, and Chiron. VERICUT runs standalone, but can also be integrated with leading CAM systems such as Catia V5, NX, Pro/E, MasterCAM, EdgeCAM and GibbsCAM.
VERICUT 7 features significant performance-improving enhancements that reduce the time required for manufacturing engineers to develop, analyze, inspect and document the CNC programming and machining process. Instead of focusing on new features or add-on modules, CGTech developer resources have focused on diligent code optimization and over 500 customer-driven enhancements.
“For VERICUT 7.0 we focused on the customer's use of VERICUT and how we could improve it,” said Bill Hasenjaeger, Product Marketing Manager. “We modified the user interface to create a more natural and obvious sequence to the most common user actions. The user's interaction has a top-down flow through its graphical tree layout, with context sensitive choices that appear as the user moves along in the NC program simulation.”
CGTech will also be demonstrating VERICUT Composite Applications at WESTEC. VERICUT Composite Applications are machine-independent off-line programming and simulation software solutions for automated composite tape and fiber-placement CNC machines. There are two separate applications: VERICUT Composite Programming (VCP) & VERICUT Composite Simulation (VCS).
