CGTech and MachiningCloud integration moves on further

CGTech Vericut customers can now import cutting parameters from cutting tool manufacturers from within MachiningCloud directly into Vericut.

Vericut CNC machine simulation, verification and optimisation software detects CNC programming errors, as well as potential collisions, from the same NC code that drives the CNC machine. MachiningCloud is a product data provider for cutting tool manufacturers, CNC machines and workholding.

After defining a tooling package on the MachiningCloud and directly downloading all the tool assemblies within the package into Vericut, customers can now obtain the cutting parameters of the tool to verify that the tool was programmed correctly.

“The importing of the tool's cutting parameters with the 3D tool geometry into Vericut will allow the user to take advantage of other verification checks our software offers to further improve their programs. These tool cutting parameters can also be used in Vericut’s Force and OptiPath modules to better optimise the CNC program”, says Jeff Voegele, Vericut product specialist, CGTech.
