Since 1988 CGTech’s product, VERICUT software, has become the industry standard for simulating CNC machining in order to detect errors, potential collisions, or areas of inefficiency
It is used by companies of all sizes, universities/trade schools, and government agencies in more than 55 countries. VERICUT enables you to reduce or eliminate the process of manually proving-out NC programs. It reduces scrap loss and rework. The program also optimizes NC programs in order to both save time and produce higher quality surface finish.
VERICUT simulates all types of CNC machine tools, including those from leading manufacturers such as Mazak, Makino, DMG / Mori Seiki, Okuma, etc. VERICUT runs standalone, but can also be integrated with all leading CAM systems.

How it works with three simple steps…
Step 1:
Verification
Vericut instils confidence in the machinists long before they physically start machining.
That’s because the first steps is to verify your NC program.
This early but vital stage helps eliminate major program errors before the job gets underway, and wasted parts and material while machining.
Plus, it saves valuable time by mitigating the need for manual prove-outs – even on your first-time programs.
Vericut offers robust analysis tools to accurately measure and map the cut part, fixture or holder shape; it also verifies G-codes with ease and supports all native CAM files.
Verification Benefits:
- Eliminate program errors.
- Reduce scrap and rework.
- Read and verify post-processed G-codes.
- Produce perfect programs without prove-outs.
Step 2:
Simulation
Once Vericut has successfully verified your NC program, it’s onto the second, and perhaps most vital, step: simulating your CNC machine.
As machine operators know all too well, a single crash can devastate your production efforts: damaging your machine, destroying your tools, and delaying your entire schedule.
It goes without saying then, that avoiding any of these outcomes is fundamental importance.
Vericut enables machinists to simulate their CNC machine before they hit the button to start cutting. The simulation behaves identically to your physical machine – a digital twin that mimics its every move and axis to provide machinists with a hyper-accurate rundown of events.
The simulation can detext collisions between portions of the machine, the tool, the part and fixtures and holders, and also report back on any close calls so you can make suitable and safe adjustments.
This extra level of precaution and insights helps machinists start their CNC machines with the confidence that when cutting starts, it’s right the first time.
Simulation Benefits:
- Detect collisions and close calls.
- Check machines capabilities.
- Improve process efficiency and engineer safety.
- The confidence to machine right every time.
Step 3:
Optimization
With Vericut successfully verifying and
simulating the job, confidence is completed with
the third and final step: optimizing feed rates.
An optimized CNC machine is an effective one – delivering repeatable and reliable results without fail.
Vericut enables machinists to get the most from their output thanks to additional optimization capabilities.
Based on the cutting tool geometry, part and its material, and the NC-programed cutting conditions, Vericut can automatically determine the optimal, and most importantly, safe, feed rate for each individual cut.
This vastly improves cutter performance, resulting in significant cycle time savings, prolonged tool life, better – finished parts, and reduced material waste – making your machining most efficient and sustainable.
Optimization Benefits:
- Boost cutting tool performance.
- Remove manual feed adjustments.
- Increase tool life and sustainability.
- Make machines work to their fullest potential.
