NCSIMUL 4CAM

Streamlined, bi-directional & seamless End-to-End machining process.

Swap machines with no reprogramming

NCSIMUL 4CAM allows you to change the target machine in one click without any CAM reprogramming.

NCSIMUL 4CAM

NCSIMUL 4CAM is enriching the existing CAM process to simplify CNC programming. It provides unparalleled flexibility on the shopfloor. It allows to change, in one click, the target machine, without any CAM reprogramming.

Product capabilities

Features at a glance:

With over 20 years of R&D, the NCSIMUL G-code verification technology has become a combination of the highest performance simulation software available on the market and the standard for “ease of use” in today’s software offerings.

While the practical interface demonstrates CNC collision detection using crisp 3D graphics in real time, the powerful attributes of the software provide optimization of cutting tool feeds and speeds to reduce the parts’ cycle time.

Collaboration in the workshop is also possible thanks to an embedded function that generates CNC technical documents, which can be shared and reviewed, along with the simulation, on NCSIMUL player.

NCSIMUL Machine is available as a standalone software, scalable to your needs. It facilitates your CNC verification process and tightly integrates your IT system through CAD/CAM interfaces. One of the key benefits, for example, is that any existing CAM data can be seamlessly imported into the software, eliminating the need to rebuild tool libraries.

If your company runs CNC machines, such as 5-axis or more complex machines, seriously consider NCSIMUL Machine to save time and money with better quality results:

Challenges

  • Re-write and re-work former CNC programs for new machines without reprogramming
  • Switch part production between machines at the last minute
  • Re-engineer some of your toolpaths and need to reprogram
  • Develop and maintain specific post processors to generate G-code programs
  • Capitalize changes to your G-code program

Benefits

  • Generate automatically new CNC machine programs from a formally created CNC toolpath
  • Switch your part machining between the different CNC’s, on-the-fly, without reprogramming
  • Reuse existing APT or G-code files with just a copy/paste click, to optimize the manufacturing process
  • Eliminate external postprocessors thanks to the integrated CNC processor
  • Connections between machine sequences are automatically calculated in an optimal way
  • « Hybrid » programming, for a seamless legacy program recovery
  • Error-free native CNC code programming, as an all-in-one solution
  • No more external postprocessor, streamlining the CNC process
  • One-click re-programming, for complete flexibility
  • Dynamic rest material management, for a peerless programming comfort

Working with CAM

From the main CAM (e.g., CAM solutions from Hexagon such as ESPRIT, EDGECAM, SURFCAM, VISI and ALPHACAM or other CAM solutions such as CATIA CAM, NX CAM, Creo CAM, Mastercam, hyperMILL, POWERMILL, TOPSOLID CAM etc.) or existing CNC programs (G-code format), NCSIMUL 4CAM generates directly (without external post-processor), CNC native programs, verified and optimized taking into account the physical means of the workshop (tools, cutting conditions, kinematics, machine controllers …)
