    Can Vericut simulate additive manufacturing?

    Yes, Vericut’s Additive Manufacturing Simulation Software offers a comprehensive solution for simulating, verifying, and optimizing additive G-code programs.

    Our additive module helps to ensure error-free and enhance efficiency for your metal additive manufacturing applications.



    Unrivaled additive accuracy

    Achieve high-fidelity simulations that mirror real-world conditions, ensuring that your additive NC programs produce parts that meet exact specifications.

    Simulate from top to bottom

    Simulate the entire additive manufacturing process, including laser cladding and material deposition, to snuff out potential issues before the actual process on the machine. 

    Real-time collision guarding

    Vericut’s collision detection extends beyond traditional check where it actively monitors for interference between machine and additive part during the building process. 

    Smarter additive “recipes”

    Enhance additive manufacturing with smarter, data-driven “recipes”. Vericut monitors, validates, and regulates critical process parameters, such as laser power, material feed rates, and gas flow, to ensure consistent, high-quality builds.

    Strongest-ever structures

    Enhance part strength with advanced simulations that analyze and validate structural integrity throughout the additive manufacturing process.

    “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.”
