: Automatically detects and highlights any physical interference between the tool, workpiece, and machine components, as well as moves that exceed the machine's travel limits.

: Use the Simulation Report to review any detected collisions or syntax errors. Release Context (July 2023)

CIMCO Machine Simulation is a powerful add-on for CIMCO Edit that allows users to visualize the entire CNC manufacturing process on a 3D machine model. This helps identify potential collisions or axis over-travel before code is ever sent to a physical machine. cimco-edit-software-machine-simulation-8-10-07-2023

To "put together" a simulation in CIMCO Edit, follow these general steps:

: New features in the 2023 version include "Axis Control," which uses sliders to track and manually adjust each axis position to check for clearances. This helps identify potential collisions or axis over-travel

: The NC program runs in a left pane while a 3D simulation of the machine—including heads, spindles, and rotating tables—displays in the center.

: Navigate to the Backplot tab and click the Machine Simulation icon to begin the prove-out process. : Navigate to the Backplot tab and click

: In the Geometry Manager , right-click to add your stock (e.g., from a DXF file) and fixtures.
