We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Simulation",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release NC tool path verification celebrates 20th year from
CGTech, which we summarised at the time by saying "Celebrating its 20th year, CGTech said its continual enhancement of VERICUT reflects the company's ongoing commitment to delivering innovative, powerful NC tool path verification".
The same day,
we featured the news release Tube bending software costs forming requirements from
Forming Technologies: "Catia tube bending analysis module produces accurate thickness distribution, accurate tube length for costing and set-up, and will automatically determines hot or cold forming process requirements".
In February 2008, we covered the news from DP Technology
concerning its WinTool add-in for ESPRIT 2008
- take a look at CAM gives access to tool management system
which says: "An ESPRIT CAM software add-in provides end users with direct access to the cutting-tool management capabilities of the WinTool Cutting Tool Management System".
Take a look also at the news release from Fanuc GE CNC UK, GE CNC units programmed directly onsite,
as well as Sliding headstock automatic has three turrets from Star Micronics GB,
and Making Swiss-type CNC lathes more productive from Delcam.
