Optimization Software for Additive Manufacturing

VERICUT Force is a physics-based NC Program Optimization software module that analyzes and optimizes cutting conditions throughout CNC Program operations.

VERICUT Force makes the most effective NC program for the given material, cutting tool, and machining conditions. The result is significant time savings, and improved cutting tool and machine life.

By optimizing toolpath feed rates, VERICUT’s Force module reduces machining time, increases tool life, and produces a higher quality finished product. Graphs and charts are enhanced to display in real-time, revealing cutting conditions and forces as they are encountered by cutting tools. This helps NC programmers “see” machining in a more analytical way, and immediately identifies undesirable cutting conditions. Spikes in the graphs show when forces, chip loads, tool deflection, and material removal rates exceed a tool’s recommended performance parameters. With one click on the chart, the responsible NC program record is identified and the graphics area displays the corresponding cut helping NC programmers to better understand cutting processes.

VERICUT verification and optimization software simulates all types of CNC machining, additive, and hybrid manufacturing processes. The software operates independently, but can also be integrated with leading CAM systems.
