    Additive Manufacturing Simulation Software

    In today’s rapidly advancing additive manufacturing landscape, accuracy and consistency are essential.

    Vericut’s Additive Manufacturing Simulation Software provides a powerful, end-to-end solution for simulating, validating, and optimising additive NC programs.


    The software helps ensure your metal additive manufacturing processes run efficiently and without costly errors. 

    Unrivaled additive accuracy

    With high-fidelity simulations that closely replicate real-world conditions, you can be confident your additive NC programs will produce parts that meet precise design requirements.

    Simulate from top to bottom

    Simulate the complete additive manufacturing workflow—including laser cladding and material deposition—to identify and eliminate potential problems before production begins.

    Real-time collision guarding

    Vericut’s advanced collision detection goes beyond standard verification, continuously checking for interference between machine components and additive parts as they are built.

    Smarter additive “recipes”

    Gain full visibility and control over critical additive manufacturing parameters such as laser power, material feed rates, and gas consumption—commonly referred to as “recipes.”

    Strongest-ever structures

    Create stronger, more reliable additively manufactured components with simulations designed to consistently verify structural integrity.

    Applications:

    Your top Additive Manufacturing Simulation applications.

    Aerospace

    Aerospace

    Aerospace engineers rely on metal additive manufacturing simulation to design and validate complex engine components such as turbine blades, fuel nozzles, and combustion chambers. By simulating the process upfront, they can ensure accuracy and performance before any printing takes place.

    Future-proof your process with our Additive Manufacturing Simulation Software.

    Enhance the productivity and quality of your additive NC programs to gain a competitive edge in the years ahead.

    “With a traditional five-axis machining program, you might generate ten to twenty thousand lines of G-code. 

    We, on the other hand, regularly create additive programs with 70 million lines of code. It's exponentially different. 

    We looked at all of the major manufacturing software providers for their additive manufacturing simulation capabilities, and Vericut was the only one that met our needs out of the box.

    It’s simply a great product, and one we recommend to many of our customers, too.”
