When CAM-Integrated Simulation Isn’t Enough
Whereas this shop’s CAM system is limited to evaluating only internal CAM files, Vericut software from CGTech uses the actual post-processed G code.

For that reason, Keller opted to use software designed specifically for simulation: Vericut from CGTech (Irvine, California). The difference, explains Steve Ziff, CAD/CAM manufacturing engineer at Keller, is that Vericut checks the actual post-processed machine code, whereas the shop’s CAM system is limited to only the internal CAM file. For more about the advantages Keller realizes from Vericut, read this article.
