CNC Simulation And Verification Software--LightWork Design, Booth D-3300

MachineWorks version 5 features enhancements to the core engine Visicut and two new geometric engines, Pixelcut and Multicut. Pixelcut is said to enable the user to quickly simulate large tool paths on low specification PCs, and CNCs with a limited memory size. Multicut, according to the company, is technology combining speed with analytical accuracy. This enables the user to infinitely zoom into a CNC tool path without any compromise in geometric and visualization quality.

Version 5 also sees the launch of a new, more market focused licensing structure that now includes a specialist die/mold module based on Multicut, alongside a multi-axis module.

Machine Works is the company's CNC simulation and verification tool kit for manufacturing software developers.

According to the company, by integrating this software directly into their applications, developers can access technology to shorten their R&D cycle and get to market with a solution that their customers can rely on to increase productivity and guarantee the quality of their manufacturing output.
