CGTech's Vericut software is the standard for CNC simulation, verification, opti-
mization, analysis and additive manufacturing. CGTech also offers programming
and simulation software for composites automated fiber-placement, tape-laying
and drilling/fastening CNC machines. Vericut software is used by companies of
different sizes in all industries. Established in 1988, and headquartered in Irvine,
California, CGTech has offices worldwide. For more information, visit the CGTech

Vericut's Additive module provides CNC machine
simulation for accurate laser cladding and material
deposition. Vericut reads the laser parameters and
controls laser wattage, flow of carrier gas and metallic
powder specific to each job/material type.
Vericut detects collisions between the machine and
additive part with its collision checking extended
to cover additive parts as they are being built, and
expensive hybrid machine laser equipment. This
provides the ability to gauge potential problems
beforehand.
With droplet technology, Vericut's additive model is
much more than just "deposited material." Each bead
contains valuable history information about how it got
there. This saves time investigating errors, voids or
misplaced material, since the source of the problem is
revealed with just one click.
The Additive module offers simulation of material
deposition that is easily distinguished from cut stock.
Therefore, having the ability to clearly see where each
bead of material is placed in a step-by-step process is
essential for successful AM.
