(6)3.9/5

MachineWorks functionality gives CAM software manufacturers the ability to simulate and verify their toolpaths. Our true-solid engine allows collisions to be detected and simulated with high quality animations that are built on OpenGL or DirectX graphics. For complex machining, MachineWorks’ kinematics allow full machine simulation to ensure that all clashes and gouges are detected anywhere in the machining environment.
