This course introduces users to the basics of NC program verification. Following an overview of the graphical user interface and functionality, you’ll learn how set up and run a project in VERICUT. Special emphasis will be placed on how to detect and locate errors in NC programs. This course will also show you how to analyze the cut part by using many of VERICUT’s built-in analysis features, including the ability to compare the cut stock to the design data.

 

 
Day two will expand on the first day to include working with advanced settings that fine-tune the simulation. We’ll cover configuring multiple setup projects, advanced modeling and assembly techniques, and defining tool shapes. You’ll also learn how to use coordinate systems, subroutines and work offsets. We’ll also cover defining and positioning the stock model, and orienting the models on the machine.

 

This course builds on what you learned in days one and two to explore advanced uses of VERICUT.  Topics include using VERICUT-to-CAD/CAM interfaces and how to customize reports for your specific requirements. The afternoon will focus on how to use VERICUT’s ready-made library of NC machines and controls to process G-code and methods to export the as-machined model in a format that can be utilized in your CAD system.

 

On day four we’ll focus on maximizing the throughput of your entire manufacturing operation. You’ll use the OptiPath feed/speed optimization module to achieve the ideal feed rates for every cutting condition. After a review of OptiPath’s settings and controls, you’ll learn the best method for each type of machining and will discover strategies for achieving optimal performance and precision from your machining center. You’ll also learn how to use VERICUT’s built-in inspection report tools for an in-process part. The day will conclude with an overview of probe programming and simulation.

 

 

Day 5 will be a chance for you to delve deeper into VERICUT features that you request and will give you an opportunity to work on projects with the instructor’s assistance. The day will be custom tailored based on your specific needs. Some possible topics include: setting up and simulating you own files, advanced tool configuration, and advanced OptiPath usage.
