NC control is a real NC code simulation inside our MTE module.
Thank a 3rd party verification algorithm, NC control follows few steps:
-
G-code interpretation : it reads the G-code instructions and interpret them.
-
Toolpath simulation : it then generates a toolpath based on these instructions, showing how the tool will move according to the machine kinematics.
-
Material removal simulation : it simulates the actual material removal
-
Collision detection : It checks for collisions between tool, workpiece and machine components. Machine axis limits are checked as well.
-
Vizualization : This allows then to compare the finish part with the removed material and check what material is left and/or the overcutting zones.
