Program Simulation with CutViewer
September 14, 2011 //0
From http://www.cutviewer.com/: (by © LAMSON GLOBAL CORPORATION )
CutViewer is an easy-to-use program that simulates 2, 2-1/2 and 3 axis CNC Machines removingmaterial from Stock in true Solid modeling. Using CutViewer will increase your productivity, allbut eliminate programming errors, and prevent machine down time while debugging. Powerfuland easy-to-use tools allow debug errors in the toolpath, detect collision of the tool with materialstock while rapiding, estimate the machining time. CutViewer can be customized to support awide variety of machines.
Now you can control the CncSimple program result with CutViewer.
Entering the comment strings within the program nc, CutViewer automatically configures thematerial to be machined and the various tools used.
Now I will show you an example:
First you create the CNC program with CncSimple

Open CutViewer.
Create New File.
Copy the program created (Ctrl-C) with CncSimple and paste in CutViewer ( Ctrl-V)
From Menu Press [Running] >> [Rebuild]
And here the result.
CutViewer also checks for collisions.
That’s All.

[Fillet Line To Arc ]
[Chamfer Line To Arc ]
[Fillet Arc To Line]
[Chamfer Arc To Line]
and when you insert an arc , the software finds missing measures
example :
On EndPoint and Radius inserted , the center point is find automatically.
