CutViewer is
an easy-to-use program that simulates 2, 2-1/2 and 3 axis CNC Machines
removing material from Stock in true Solid modeling. Using CutViewer
will increase your productivity, all but eliminate programming errors,
and prevent machine down time while debugging. Powerful and easy-to-use
tools allow debug errors in the toolpath, detect collision of the tool
with material stock while rapiding, estimate the machining time. CutViewer can be customized to support a wide variety of machines. 
The
true power in this software lies in its ability to assist in
identifying errors and fixing them cutting the actual material thereby
saving both time and money. The powerful editing capability integrated
with the viewer portion of the program, simplifies the tedious task of
finding a problem spot in a file and fixing it. SECTION View

STL COMPARE functionCutViewer can
EDIT NC files without exiting simulation mode. It enables real time
correction and verification. Key features of CutViewer are FAST viewing
with the ability to pause, change view, zoom in, section the stock,
change display speed etc and then resume verification. CutViewer supports
forward and backward step-by-step modes, displaying of the current tool
position, tool parameters and spindle speeds and allow easy isolate an
area of concern. One can set up break points, reach a problem area,
switch to a line by line mode, observe the cuts line by line, stop at a
particular point, open the edit window and edit the line, without
requiring any line numbers or other identifiers! CutViewer allows
the user to dynamically zoom, scale, rotate and explore the part and
the path to resolve problems faster and with greater ease. CutViewer provides
accurate measurement capabilities to inspect the part at any time of
processing, this includes thickness, distance between geometric
features, angles, hole parameters etc. It also includes a unique
property allows the measurement of control points on any vertical
section.

easy Customization files for machine specific posts simply add to the
file capability of CutViewer, allowing loading of different posts for
different machines in the same session. CutViewer reads
a wide range of final posts and has a very simple configuration program
that allows addition of more posts. We will provide the configuration
file for any post FREE of charge if anyone has a problem seeing their
post. CAM-SOFT offers support and advice for any problems or difficulties in new post-processors. CutViewer is integrated into CS PGL2000 starting from release 1.00 and it can be purchased separately. |
