How CIMCO Edit and Machine Simulation Validates NC Programs – Including Manual Edits – Mastercam 2/4

Common reasons for editing code at the machine include repeating a finishing pass or adjusting a value slightly to achieve the necessary outcome that otherwise should not impact the safety and effectiveness of the program. The danger of this approach is that any small error can be magnified and create unintended machine behavior that could damage the part, tooling, or machine. The ability to run simulation on the program makes it possible to ensure the end result is what is expected and to ensure no mistakes were made that are a danger to your operations.
