CGTech unveils Vericut version 8

CGTech is introducing its Vericut version 8 CNC machine simulation, verification and optimisation software, which features a newly developed ribbon bar that allows the user to quickly select the required function. As users move from tab to tab, the ribbon bar updates to show the options available; with options grouped by the function they perform.

The ribbon bar is said to be highly customisable, but to ease the transition for existing users, a ‘Vericut classic’ setting organises all of the menus and options where users previously found them. Several other layout options are included and can be selected depending on the task at hand.

Vericut can also now read 3D solid model data from cutting tool manufacturers such as Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal and Iscar, and use this in the simulation process. In addition, there are enhancements relating to consolidated reporting features and graphical toolpath analysis.
