VERICUT 7.0 features significant performance-improving enhancements that reduce the time required for manufacturing engineers to develop, analyse, 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 optimisation and customer-driven enhancements.
"VERICUT has been reorganised with a new user interface for maximum efficiency," Product Marketing Manager Bill Hasenjaeger said.
"Not only is the software extremely stable and significantly faster, it has never been easier to set up a VERICUT project.
"This release will set a new standard for the world's most advanced CNC simulation system."
VERICUT reduces scrap loss and rework.
The program also optimises 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 Mazak, Makino, Matsuura, Hermle, DMG, DIXI, Mori Seiki 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 and the VERICUT license server are now Vista compatible.
Features include:
• Option to automatically set working directory to current project's folder
• Optionally write and display thumbnail images in the project and machine files
• Include visible CSYS in Report images
• Adding a new setup renames the currently selected setup and increments its number
• Minimum Cutter Extension option: Do not shorten
• Polar measure in X-caliper
• X-caliper measurement markers stay on screen
• Save machine images and display thumbnail images in both the file selection dialog and in the choice list
• A configurable tool bar gives the user the ability to add/remove individual icons and display them in the order that works best for the user
