Joining the association with CGTech is the company’s Vericut software, one that has been used by many others for simulating CNC machining to detect errors, potential collisions or areas of inefficiency. The software enables users to eliminate the process of manually proving-out NC programmes, as well as optimises NC programmes to both save time and produce higher quality surface finish. It can also be used in all types of CNC machine tools or integrated with most CAM systems.

Jon Prun, president of CGTech, said the company was pleased with becoming a member of the association as they would be able to help end-users improve their manufacturing efficiency. “By partnering with Okuma and Partners in THINC, CGTech can provide users with accurate machine simulations of Okuma machine tools to ensure that their tool paths are right the first time, every time.”

Jeff Estes, director of Partners in THINC, was likewise pleased with CGTech coming on board. “Vericut will provide that next level of CNC programme and toolpath verification prior to cutting the part. The use of Vericut, along with a highly capable CAM package, allows Okuma’s customers to fully apply the capabilities and efficiencies of 5-axis machining.”
