Software Supports Cloud-Based Applications for CNC Simulation

MachineWorks presents its support of cloud-based applications for CNC simulation and verification. The feature enables networked devices such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops and desktops to visualize MachineWorks simulations running in the cloud. In addition, a geometry query API feature is said to ease rendering integration for applications and has been designed to be flexible for future applications. According to the company, the API provides a seamless transition between toolkits, enabling direct transfer of geometry and associated data. Real-time gouge detection has been extended to support more machining types, including linear, rotational, arc and B-axis turning, and multi-axis wire EDM. The company says that the advantage of multi-core CPUs improves the speed of the new multi-threaded Rapidcut engine.
