Vericut, from CGTech, is CNC (computer numerical control) machine simulation and verification software that enables elimination of the process of manually proving out NC (numerical control) programs. It reduces scrap loss and rework, according to the company. The program also boosts NC programs in order to save time and produce a higher-quality surface finish. Vericut simulates all types of CNC machine tools. It runs standalone, or can be integrated with CAM systems such as Catia V...
