Delcam Links PowerMILL Directly to VERICUT
 BIRMINGHAM,
UK, Oct 26, 2007 - Delcam has introduced a direct link from its PowerMILL
CAM system to CGTech’s VERICUT software for machine tool simulation and feed
rate optimization. This link will make it easier for companies to gain
greater productivity by using the world’s leading specialist CAM software
alongside the world’s leading simulation program.
“The status of VERICUT is so well established that many companies
manufacturing high-value items from expensive materials insist on using its
simulations as part of their product development procedures,” explained Mark
Forth, Delcam’s PowerMILL Product Marketing Manager. “By introducing this
direct link, we have made it easier for these companies to check PowerMILL
programs in VERICUT. In addition, the same companies often insist that their
sub-contractors should also prove out their programs with VERICUT. The
direct link will make it easier for existing PowerMILL users to add VERICUT
and so become able to tender for this work.”
VERICUT offers two key advantages to users. Firstly, because its
simulations are based on the G-code output by PowerMILL, it offers an extra
degree of confidence to users. “Vericut gives an independent verification of
the toolpaths generated by PowerMILL, said Mr. Forth. “This provides an
added level of security just in case there have been any operator errors in
generating or in post-processing the toolpaths.”
Secondly, VERICUT offers an extensive range of machine tools models, the
great majority of which have been developed in association with the machine
tool manufacturers. As well as ensuring that the simulations are accurate,
having such a comprehensive set of models saves users the time that would
otherwise be needed to create the designs themselves.
“To remain profitable, companies are looking to manufacture more complex
components, with higher added value,” stated Mr. Forth. “At the same time,
they are introducing higher levels of automation and increasing the amount
of unsupervised machining they undertake. Finally, improvements in machine
tool and cutting tool technology mean that cutting speeds are now routine
that would have been unthinkable a few years ago. As a result, the potential
for serious damage to a component, or even to the machine tool, has
increased. All these factors make simulation on the computer more important
than ever and so make the direct link from PowerMILL to VERICUT an important
addition to our software options.”
