    Vericut Interfaces

    Create your most powerful NC programs yet. Vericut interfaces make connecting directly with your existing CAD/CAM software easy—from Mastercam, Siemens NX, and CATIA V5 to GibbsCAM, PowerMill, and more.

    Vericut CAD/CAM Interfaces

    Vericut’s CAD/CAM interfaces make verifying and optimizing NC programs and simulating CNC machines much easier and more efficient.

    Instead of re-entering setups or recreating models, you can effortlessly import toolpaths, fixtures, and assemblies in just a few clicks.

    All stock, fixture, and design geometry are automatically transferred to Vericut in the correct orientation, along with your NC program, tooling, machine, control data, and other simulation parameters.

    This seamless integration saves hours of programming time, reduces errors, and ensures your NC programs run exactly as expected on the shop floor.

    "Quick Start" Training Sessions

    Our Quick Start training sessions are designed to teach the fundamentals of running a Vericut simulation by utilizing one of several available Vericut CAM Interfaces. Each set of training files includes videos, documentation, sample files, and exercises for the user to follow along.

    Vericut Tooling Interfaces

    Tool management interfaces extract tool lists from your tool manager system and create Vericut tool assemblies via a live connection to your tool manager.

    Vericut Model Interfaces

    Model interfaces enable Vericut to read the designated model file formats and use them as stock, fixture, design, tool holder and machine models. When combined with Model Export, Vericut's cut stock may be written out in these formats as well. The modules do not require a CAD/CAM system to be available for Vericut to read or write any of the formats.

    Here’s how Vericut works with some of the most widely used CAD-CAM platforms.

    Siemens NX

    Direct connection between NX and Vericut, with no need for complicated workarounds.

    Transfer toolpaths, from simple drilling cycles to complex 5-axis operations, straight into Vericut.

    Maintain your NX tool libraries and machine setups so simulations reflect your programming environment.

    Siemens NX

    Mastercam

    Dedicated Vericut plug-in makes it easy to send projects from Mastercam.

    Supports multi-axis strategies and high-speed machining paths.

    Keeps tool definitions, fixtures, and part models consistent between Mastercam and Vericut.

    Mastercam

    GibbsCAM

    The GibbsCAM interface delivers a seamless connection, transferring toolpaths and model data with total precision.

    Streamlines verification by allowing toolpath and NC code validation directly within Vericut.

    Optimal for aerospace, automotive, and precision applications that depend on GibbsCAM for advanced multi-axis machining.

    frequently asked questions:

    Additive Manufacturing
    Simulation Software FAQs.

    01.
    Which CAM systems does Vericut integrate with?

    Vericut seamlessly integrates with all leading CAD-CAM platforms, including Siemens NX, Mastercam, and many more, too.

    02.
    Do I need a post-processor to connect my CAM software?

    Not always. Toolpaths can be sent directly. If you want to check NC code output, then you’ll need to use a post-processor.

    03.
    Is the interface included with Vericut, or purchased separately?

    All of our interfaces are licensed separately, so you only pay for what you need.

    04.
    Will my CAM setup carry over into Vericut?

    Yes indeed. Interfaces bring across your toolpaths, tools, and setup information to ensure what you see in Vericut matches your CAM project.

    05.
    Are interfaces updated when CAM software updates?

    Absolutely. Vericut interfaces are constantly monitored and maintained to keep up with new releases.

     

    06.
    What is a “Model” Interface?

    A model interface lets you bring 3D models of parts, fixtures, and assemblies straight into Vericut for highly accurate simulation.

     

    07.
    Can Vericut check for differences between my CAD model and the NC program?

    It certainly can. Vericut can compare the original CAD model against the post-processed NC code to highlight any mismatches, giving you peace of mind that your finished part will meet spec.

     

    08.
    Will using an interface help speed up my workflow?

    Absolutely. By sending data directly from your CAM software, interfaces remove the need to re-enter setups or recreate models, saving time and reducing programming and machining errors.

    09.
    Do I need special training to use Vericut interfaces?

    Not at all. Most interfaces are designed to feel familiar and intuitive. That said, training and tutorials are available if you want to get the most from advanced features.

    10.
    Can multiple programmers use the same Vericut interface?

    They certainly can. Interfaces can be configured for team use, making it easy for several programmers to share consistent settings across a department or site.

    11.
    What happens if my CAM software updates before Vericut does?

    We actively maintain Vericut interfaces to keep pace with new CAM releases. If your software updates, simply check for the latest Vericut patch or update to ensure compatibility.

    12.
    Can I automate the process of sending toolpaths from CAM to Vericut?

    Yes indeed. Vericut interfaces support automation options, including scripting and API access, so you can build repeatable workflows or run batch simulations across multiple parts.

    13.
    Does Vericut preserve high-end strategies like adaptive roughing and 5-axis simultaneous machining?

    It does. Interfaces are designed to carry over your CAM system’s toolpath strategies exactly, whether that’s adaptive, high-speed, or multi-axis motion, so your simulation behaves just like your program.
