CNC Simulation Software Simulates Composite Machining

Spring Technologies will showcase the NCSIMUL Machine module, part of its NCSIMUL Solutions 10 all-in-one digital software suite designed to enhance productivity in CNC programming. NCSIMUL Machine is a CNC software module providing realistic simulation of the machining process. Users can simulate, verify, optimize and review machine programs based on the actual characteristics of the machine tools. Three-dimensional graphics help to avoid machining crashes, while powerful algorithms and embedded, process-based knowledge enable cutting conditions to be optimized.

The module verifies programs in three steps: it investigates and corrects coding errors, simulates to locate collisions and correct motion errors, and validates the program. This process can reduce the time spent on debugging programs; prevent the costly risk of spindle collision, tool breakage and scrap; and improve cycle times and process optimization efficiencies.

Spring Technologies has also addressed the increased use of composite materials in manufacturing by developing NCSIMUL Composites and welcomes inquiries about this product at the show. New algorithms in NCSIMUL Machine enable the simulation of fiber lay-ups with the initial media, the already laid material and roller position taken into account. The software offers a realistic display of the complete 3D model of the final part, selectively displaying each layer.
