G-Code Simulation Software Now CAM Option



Missler Software and SPRING Technologies have concluded a final agreement to integrate the G-code simulation software, NCSIMUL Machine, as an option that can be used directly within TopSolid'Cam. This new package, named TopSolid'NCSIMUL, is available within the new release of TopSolid'Cam 7.8. "The deep integration between standard CAM features and high-end machining simulation is part of the two companys' strategies, as well as developing increasingly advanced and complete workshop solutions together," said a company spokesperson.

The initial objective of the agreement is to ensure a perfect coherence and workflow between TopSolid and NCSIMUL Machine. "TopSolid'Cam designs a perfect tool path close to the part, taking account of machine kinematics and material constraints," said the spokesperson. "NCSIMUL Machine's goal is to supply an independent fast checking and tool path optimization close to the machine and the controller. The combination of the two will leverage security throughout the machining process and programming stages for the customer, especially required when the part is a very expensive one or when the machining cycle takes hours, as well as the final tuning of the tool path close to the machine in the workshop."

Christian Arber, CEO of Missler Software, said, "We have many customers in common with SPRING Technologies. TopSolid'NCSIMUL offers important time gains to these customers, which results in a competitive advantage for these companies and future potential clients. The development of the interface and the future integration between the two solutions is an important step in the validation and optimization of the G-code generated by TopSolid'Cam post-processors. The part and machine environment simulation already provided by TopSolid'Cam, together with the advanced G-code simulation provided by TopSolid'NCSIMUL, will no doubt help reduce potential collisions."

Gilles Battier, CEO of SPRING Technologies, said, "We are convinced that this strong commitment between Missler Software and SPRING Technologies will progressively generate a very complete and reliable solution covering all workshop needs. In the 2014 version we ensure that a maximum level of integration and interoperability is maintained for the customer. Going forward, NCSIMUL Machine will be completely transparent for the user within TopSolid'Cam and we are confident that we will be able to offer many more integrated solutions to our respective customers."

On a more long-term basis, the two companies plan a deeper integration of SPRING Technologies products within the TopSolid'Cam offering for Cutting Tool Management and Optimization. According to the spokesperson, Missler Software and SPRING Technologies aim to secure high-end companies in their machining processes, with independent control.
