This function outputs information on machining work piece and tools, etc. from FFCAM to VERICUT (cutting simulation software).
This enables FFCAM –＞ VERICUT NC simulation flow to be carried out smoothly. VERICUT simulation can be started in just three clicks from FFCAM.
VERICUT is the trademark of CGTech.
It is used to simulate tool path motion and the material removal process, detecting errors or areas of inefficiency in NC programs.
When the toolpaths for simultaneous 5-axis machining are converted to NC data, it becomes difficult to predict machine movements owing to the influence of such factors as the machine configuration and limitations.
For that reason, it is essential to have simulation software for visually checking machine movements by taking such factors into account before starting to machine.
