SmartCAMcnc chooses ModuleWorks for CNC verification

AACHEN, Germany, June 9, 2017 – SmartCAMcnc has integrated ModuleWorks material removal simulation technology into the SmartCAM v2017 Milling and Turning applications.
The ModuleWorks components enable SmartCAMcnc to provide new and enhanced simulation and verification features that improve the quality and accuracy of multi-axis milling and turning models.

The ModuleWorks simulation technology combines advanced collision checking algorithms and toolpath analysis with powerful dynamic viewing capabilities. This enables SmartCAM to combine all verification functions in a single graphics window. Toolpath vizualisation and material removal simulation can be displayed independently or simultaneously. Additionally, users can step through verification while automatically pausing after each move, element or step.

The in-process stock model can be stored at any point during verification. This enables the model to be exported in standard STL format, or used as input to subsequent verification.“Over the years we’ve had many customer requests to improve our material removal verification, explains Doug Oliver, Senior Product Manager at SmartCAMcnc. “The ModuleWorks components are industry-proven technology that enable us to deliver on those requests and provide the high quality CNC simulation and verification that our customers need. We are excited by all the technology available to us, and hope this is the start of a long, productive relationship with ModuleWorks.”

“It’s great to see how our simulation and verification components take SmartCAM to the next level of development”, says David Plater, Technical Director at ModuleWorks. “We look forward to continued cooperation with SmartCAMcnc and to further advances in the technology.”
