CGTech VERICUT
CGTech VERICUT is a simulation and optimization software for machine tools. The powerful software for NC testing, simulation, and analysis is based on real data from the DMG MORI machine.
- NC code-based 3D workspace simulation
- Independent NC code optimization
- Collision and workspace boundary checks
Highlights
Software for collision checks and optimization on the PC
The preliminary inspection of a new workpiece forms the basis for an efficient and safe production start and process. The VERICUT product line delivers fast and accurate results. The NC code-based simulation checks the process for collisions and workspace boundaries. With the Optimizer option, externally created NC programs can be optimized. The 3D workpiece models can be analyzed and cross-sectioned multiple times in any orientation, allowing areas to be inspected that would not be visible in a volume model, for example the intersection of drill holes.
- Collision checks through NC code simulation
- Verification of programs through 3D simulation
- Reduction of machining times

Module
VERICUT Verification
Without CNC verification software, new or modified machining operations can be a gamble on the machine. VERICUT Verification eliminates this risk by reading, checking, and simulating the same post-processed G-code that runs on the actual machine. The user is informed of potential collisions or errors before the real part is machined.
- Fast error detection
- Full G-code support
- Supports modules such as measuring, control cycles, and multi-axis
VERICUT Simulation
VERICUT prevents costly and time-consuming machine crashes and optimizes the NC program in advance. Thanks to its comprehensive collision checking functions, the risks of expensive machine crashes and production downtimes are significantly reduced.
- Verification of the entire CNC machine logic and G-code
- Original DMG MORI machine data
VERICUT NC Program Optimizer
The NC Program Optimizer analyzes tool movements on the workpiece and suggests optimizations that can offer up to 25% savings potential. This results in reduced and more efficient machining time.
- Creation of an efficient NC program for any material, cutting tool, and machining condition
- Cut-by-cut analysis
- Calculation of the contact between tool and material to optimize feed rate

- Online or in-person
- Duration by agreement
DMG MORI Configuration
The VERICUT software is always delivered with one or more DMG MORI machine-specific configurations. The 3D design model of the machine is cleaned up and supplemented with kinematic information. The NC code-based simulation covers a standard command set that includes all common NC functions and cycles. Custom special functions can be integrated at an additional cost.
Questions & Answers
What is the difference between VERICUT and a traditional CAM simulation?
What is the difference between VERICUT and a traditional CAM simulation?
DMG MORI provides customized support for training and installation services. The duration depends on the number of workstations to be installed and the training needs. The service package is individualized upon consultation and can be conducted online or in person.
Can VERICUT reliably prevent machine collisions?
Can VERICUT reliably prevent machine collisions?
Yes. VERICUT identifies potential collisions between the machine, tools, fixtures, and workpiece before actual machining takes place. By using digital twins and original machine kinematics, risks can be significantly reduced, helping to avoid machine damage and unplanned downtime.
What productivity benefits does VERICUT offer?
What productivity benefits does VERICUT offer?
In addition to NC code verification, VERICUT can automatically optimize feed rates and machining parameters using its Force Optimization module. Manufacturers report significantly reduced machining times, longer tool life, and improved machine utilization. According to CGTech, cycle time reductions of up to 25% are possible.
Do I need a specific machine or CAM system to use VERICUT?

DMG MORI provides customized support for training and installation services. The duration depends on the number of workstations to be installed and the training needs. The service package is individualized upon consultation and can be conducted online or in person.
When should I use VERICUT and when should I use Run MyVirtual Machine?
When should I use VERICUT and when should I use Run MyVirtual Machine?
Run MyVirtual Machine is primarily used for virtual programming, training, and verification with the original SINUMERIK control logic on a digital machine twin. VERICUT, on the other hand, focuses on vendor-independent NC code verification, collision detection, and process optimization. In many manufacturing environments, the two solutions complement each other: Run MyVirtual Machine provides the virtual machine environment, while VERICUT ensures comprehensive NC code validation and optimization.
