CIMCO Edit ships with a solid backplotter and a GPU-accelerated solid simulation engine. For a lot of shops, that is enough for everyday verification. But there is a category of risk that backplot cannot touch. And if your shop runs complex multi-axis programs, expensive materials, or tight fixtures, you have probably run into this. Backplot operates in a geometric … [Read more...]
Using CIMCO Machine Simulation to Validate Legacy CNC Programs
Many shops still rely on CNC programs that were written years, or even decades ago. These legacy CNC programs may have run successfully on older equipment, but problems can arise when those same programs are moved to newer machines. Differences in machine kinematics, tool setups, travel limits, or work offsets can introduce unexpected issues. Running an old program on a … [Read more...]
