ModuleWorks Launching GPU Simulation

ModuleWorks reports the upcoming market launch of its GPU Simulation. As part of ModuleWorks' partnership with Sandvik, the CAD/CAM software brands Cimatron and Mastercam will reportedly be first to make the technology available in a commercial CAM solution.

Rollout is scheduled for the next releases of Cimatron and Mastercam.

ModuleWorks GPU Simulation uses GPU-accelerated processing to increase simulation speed, according to ModuleWorks. The technology is aimed at large and complex three- and five-axis parts, where fast verification can shorten programming cycles, according to the company.

Integrating GPU Simulation with the multi-axis capabilities of Cimatron and Mastercam is designed, according to ModuleWorks, to enable efficient verification and programming workflows and increase job throughput.

“Our strong partnership with Sandvik and their Cimatron and Mastercam brands demonstrates how collaboration can accelerate the adoption of new technologies," says Dr. Yavuz Murtezaoglu, founder and managing director of ModuleWorks. 

“By harnessing the massive GPU-accelerated simulation through, e.g. NVIDIA GPUs, we’re cutting toolpath verification from minutes to seconds, enabling manufacturers to work faster, safer and more efficiently. In collaboration with ModuleWorks, it comes to life now in our leading CAM solutions," says Magnus Malmström, chief technology officer, from Intelligent Manufacturing at Sandvik. 

“Being first to announce GPU Simulation to our user community means they will gain an immediate edge in simulation speed, power and workflow confidence, reinforcing the very advantages that have made Mastercam the world’s most widely adopted and versatile CAD/CAM solution," says Ivan Krstic, vice president of Product, at Mastercam. 

GPU Simulation will be incorporated into the next Mastercam release, planned for early 2026.

“Early access to GPU Simulation in our integrated CAD/CAM end-to-end solution puts our users ahead of the curve, delivering the fastest, most reliable CAM simulation and programming workflow available," says Simone Bonino, global product director from Cimatron. 

ModuleWorks GPU Simulation will be presented at EMO 2025 in Hanover, September 22–26, with hands-on demonstrations and interviews with Sandvik, Cimatron and Mastercam.
