Full Machine Simulation Module Unveiled

PartMaker Software/ICMS Inc. (www.partmaker.com) will unveil its latest version of PartMaker Software for programming CNC mills, lathes, wire EDM, turn-mill centers and Swiss-type lathes at IMTS. PartMaker says the new version features a new full-machine simulation module that allows users to view a photo realistic 3D model of the machine for which they are programming a part and provides improved error checking and collision detection by allowing users to perform an even more robust machine simulation than currently offered by PartMaker. The machine model being simulated incorporates machine specific tool holders and attachments to detect off-line on the user's PC any possible collisions that could occur on the machine.
