Additive Manufacturing Simulation Software

In the evolving world of additive manufacturing, precision and reliability are paramount.

Vericut’s Additive Manufacturing Simulation Software offers a comprehensive solution for simulating, verifying, and optimizing your additive NC programs. 

Our software helps ensure your metal additive manufacturing applications are both efficient and error-free. 

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 they strike.

Real-time collision guarding

Vericut’s collision detection extends beyond traditional checks, actively monitoring for interference between machines and additive parts as they’re being built.

Smarter additive “recipes”

Monitor, validate, and control key additive manufacturing parameters, such as laser energy, material flow, and gas usage—collectively known as “recipes.”

Strongest-ever structures

Produce your most robust additive-manufactured components to date with simulations that ensure the structural integrity of your parts every time.

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.”
