Delcam offers direct link from PowerMILL CAM to Vericut simulation

Delcam has introduced a direct link from its PowerMILL CAM system to CGTech’s Vericut software for machine tool simulation and feed rate optimisation. “This link will make it easier for companies to gain greater productivity by using the world’s leading specialist CAM software alongside the world’s leading simulation program,” explains the company. Vericut offers two key advantages to users. First, because its simulations are based on the G-code output by PowerMILL. Second, Vericut offers an extensive range of machine tools models, the great majority of which have been developed in association with the machine tool manufacturers. As well as ensuring that the simulations are accurate, having such a comprehensive set of models saves users the time that would otherwise be needed to create the designs themselves.
