VERICUT has many features that increase the ability of manufacturing engineers to develop, analyze, inspect and document the CNC programming and machining process. New innovations simplify validating even the most complex configurations in order to produce better results and reduce the time spent in the programming and machining cycle.

VERICUT’s modular format provides flexibility – you purchase only the capabilities you need. It’s easy to add modules; just let us know and we provide a license that gives you immediate access.

The following videos provide a glimpse into some of the extra capabilities VERICUT offers. For more detailed information, please visit our product line page on the CGTech.com website.

Machine-independent off-line programming and simulation software for automated fiber-placement and tape-laying CNC machines consists of three components: VERICUT Composite Paths for Engineering (VCPe), VERICUT Composite Programming (VCP) & VERICUT Composite Simulation (VCS.

VCPe gives a composite part designer, mechanical engineer or process engineer access to the same software tools NC programmers use to create Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) NC program paths. Using these tools the part designer or engineer can easily create and experiment with various AFP path options and evaluate the effects AFP manufacturing has on a composite part’s design intent.

VCP reads CAD models of the layup tool and ply boundary information that defines the laminate or ply stack and creates motion paths that add material and fill each ply boundary according to the user’s engineering requirements and manufacturing standards. Layup motion paths are linked together in order to form specific layup sequences which are then output as NC programs for the selected automated layup machine.

VCS reads CAD models and NC programs, either from VCP or other composite layup path-generation applications, and simulates the sequence of NC programs on a virtual machine. Material is applied to the layup form via NC program instructions in a virtual CNC simulation environment.

When working with expensive airframe assemblies, the cost of drilling or fastening mistakes is high. How much time do you spend avoiding them?

VERICUT Drilling & Fastening (VDAF) can help you avoid problems such as:

• Drilled hole or fastener in wrong position
• Missed hole or fastener
• Wrong hole size or fastener in right position
• Hole not drilled through the stack
• Hole double-drilled or double-filled
• Wrong fastener for material stack
• Collision with structure
• Collision with tooling
• Collision with added fasteners
