3D machine tool simulation avoids collisions
3D simulation software for machine tools helps to avoid damaging work pieces, breaking tools and fixtures or even crashing a CNC machine because of some programming error.
It supports 9-axis machining centers, lathes, milling machines, EDMs, punching and laser profiling machines.
Most of the controller parameters can be tuned using a user-friendly interface.
Expert users can reach extremely high customisations, using C++ and RoboPOST SDK.
