Program verification: Accurate simulation of the cutting process reduces prove-out times and quickly recoups software costs

摘要

NC verification software packages that can accurately simulate all the cutting processes have long been the answer to reducing prove-out times, However, this software has tended to be considered a 'luxury item' rather than a necessity by smaller companies and sub-contractors; most of them feel that only large aerospace, medical or automotive organisations can benefit from such an investment, While it is true that large companies have been the mainstay for sales of this software in the past, it is certainly not true that you have to have a huge turnover to reap the benefits of NC verification. As always, the aerospace and automotive sectors were simply at the forefront, adopting new technologies as and when they arrived.
