New and enhanced functionality has been incorporated into the latest digital twin software from Hexagon, increasing CNC program quality through automatic and predictive analysis. NCSIMUL virtually builds the real-life machining environment to avoid errors, decrease set-up times and switch CNC programs between machines.
The 2021 release features a new comparison mode that detects excessive material, during a fast and hidden simulation. It shows a solid comparison between the CAD/CAM models or previous cut stock, and the NCSIMUL simulated model.
A new set of options quickly evaluate tools that can benefit from air-cutting optimisation, with the ‘out of material working time’ in the sequence list. This works with the NCDoc documentation template and customises stock nearness values for each sequence, and the optimisation is automatically stored for future strategies.
