The latest Vericut version 9.1 CNC machine simulation, verification and optimisation software from CG Tech is said to raise the bar for CNC simulation with several new features that increase efficiency and empower users to do more in less time.

New visibility options, plus enhancements to tool-path optimisation, additive manufacturing, tooling and multi-tool stations, and measuring and inspection/reporting, are just a few of the noteworthy features in this latest release. Hundreds of customer-driven improvements and software requests were also incorporated in the new version.

“Vericut 9.1 continues to enhance the user experience through ongoing advancements in graphics and display controls, streamlined user controls, and more new capabilities and features than ever before,” says product manager, Gene Granata. “Version 9.1 also introduces a ‘Learn’ mode for Force optimisation – a form of artificial intelligence for faster/easier NC program optimisation. Using Learn mode, almost anyone can create highly optimised NC programs from existing programs, without the need to start again.”

New visibility features have been added to the project tree and Vericut’s right-click convenience menus for components and models, enabling users to toggle between visible and invisible states, or to enable/disable 3D objects for the simulation. Users can quickly see unobstructed views of the cutting process and gain better access to the part by removing enclosures, models of sheet metal or shrouding, and other ‘in-the-way’ objects via ‘Invisible’ or ‘disable’ actions.

Features have also been added to ‘Auto-Diff’, giving users a higher degree of control over component visibility, such as when fixture models should appear.
