VERICUT Composite Applications from CGTech, programming and simulation software for automated composite fabrication machinery, is the winner of the Enterprise Software category for 2016 at the OC Tech Alliance 23rd Annual High-Tech Innovation Awards dinner, October 6 at the Westin South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa.
Automated fiber placement (AFP) and automated tape laying (ATL) are methods to fabricate near-net-shape composites parts using a CNC machine to apply material to a mold with an additive process. At the request of one of its large aerospace customers, CGTech developed the first machine-independent programming and simulation system for this type of sophisticated equipment. Many structural composite parts on military and commercial aircraft are currently created using CGTech’s software.
“All of the finalists were deserving and our judges felt CGTech stood out in a highly competitive category,” said Peter Craig, CEO, OC Tech Alliance. “We congratulate CGTech for winning the 2016 award and I’d like to acknowledge all of the finalists for their nominations.”
“We are humbled to receive this award and be recognized by the OC Tech Alliance,” said Jon Prun, President and Founder of CGTech.
