CGTech has announced that it now offers a connection with Siemens’ Teamcenter software as part of its toolpath simulation software, VERICUT.

Siemens PLM Software is a global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services. Its Teamcenter portfolio, the world’s most popular digital lifecycle management software, is used widely across the aerospace, automotive, medical, and other industries. Its NX software, is a integrated solution for CAD/CAM/CAE.

NX users can click, connect and import files directly from NX, saving time and eliminating problems.

The Teamcenter integration works seamlessly with MRL, explains Voegele. Users won’t be tempted to model toolholder assemblies that are ‘close enough’ in an effort to save time, or be concerned about different models floating around outside the PLM system—versions are in control, and there is a commonality and standardization for all of a shop’s cutting tools.

Also, VERICUT customers migrating their CAM systems to NX and Teamcenter can use their existing models, importing them directly into Teamcenter, or download them from such sources as Tools United, Machining Cloud or the tool vendor’s website, thus creating a master library within the PLM system and one version of the truth.
