MachineWorks Shows v 6.5 & MachineBuilder

By DE Editors

MachineWorks Ltd. (Sheffield, UK), supplier of a toolkit for CNC simulation and verification, is presenting its latest release v6.5 and its new MachineBuilder at JIMTOF 2008.

Anybody wanting machine simulation can now take advantage of the new MachineBuilder, which simplifies the process of creating a full machine model by allowing users to quickly produce their own application, with its own look and feel that can sit either on the controller or a stand-alone PC.

MachineWorks’ toolkit simulates any type of CNC machining with any type of tool no matter how complex, says the company. Allowing an unlimited number of axes, it can simulate turning, milling, mill-turn,  grinding, water jet, laser, wire EDM and robotics. MachineWorks also checks for clashes and gouges in the full machining environment.

You can get a feel for MachineWorks with demos at MachineWorks Ltd.
