Statement of Work

CGTech - VERICUT® – Sole Source

The intent of this statement of work it to provide the following ordering capabilities under a single NASA consolidated multi-year agency-wide contract.

Description of Deliverables: To secure an agency-wide to procure CGTech VERICUT® software product, maintenance, and consulting services. New licenses and maintenance of existing NASA licenses should include but are not limited to the following license types. VERICUT® software to include machine configuration and training in support of NASA's various Centers systems.

VERICUT® is a single Numerical Control (NC) data verification and optimization solution that can be used with all Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) systems. CGTech’s software fully integrated with our robotic platform, providing programming and simulation software to operate. Additionally, CGTech developed stitching capability for VERICUT to use on some NASA systems. The stitching capability is unique, and in continuing development.

VERICUT® is used in all industries with all CAD/Computer- Aided Design (CAM)/Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems to simulate NC code, whether programmed manually or post-processed from your CAM system.

Modules:

Verification Simulate, verify, and analyze three axis milling, drilling, turning, mill/turn, and wire EDM tool paths.

Machine Simulation Build and simulate CNC machines and controls to check for collisions.

OptiPath Modify feed rates to make tool paths faster & more efficient.

Model Export Export an “as-machined” model in IGES, STL, CATIA V5, CATIA V4, ACIS or STEP format.

Multi-Axis Simulate & verify four and five axis milling, drilling, turning, and combination mill/turn operations. Also supports simulation of synchronized and “pinch” turning operations where multiple channels/turrets are utilized.

CNC Machine Probing Create probing sequences at any stage in the machining process. Reduce the potential for error by simulating probing operations and save money on probing equipment.

Inspection Sequence Save time and improve accuracy by generating in-process inspection instructions and documentation from VERICUT’s simulated in-process machined features! (Included with the base Verification product.)

VERICUT Reviewer The ultimate shop floor communication tool! Get all the functionality of NC Review mode in a stand-alone viewer that does not use a license. (Included with the base Verification product.)

EDM Die Sinking Accurately simulate and verify EDM die sinking operations. Detect gouges, over/under burn, volume of material removed, contact area and electrode overlap. Supports multiple electrodes. (Included with the base Verification product.)

AUTO-DIFF Detect differences between design model & VERICUT part. Perform constant gouge-checking.

Cutter / Grinder Verify and simulate multi-axis grinding operations. A simplified interface specifically for grinding is available.

CAD/CAM Interfaces Make verifying tool paths from within your CAD/CAM system easy and convenient.

Model Interfaces Read 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.

VNCK Interface The kinematics of VERICUT’s virtual CNC machine simulation is driven by the same 840D control software that drives the actual CNC machine.

Composite Applications

Machine-independent off-line programming and simulation software for CNC composite fabrication machinery. Provides tools for composite part designers, mechanical engineers, process engineers, NC programmers, and manufacturing engineers.

Drilling & Fastening VERICUT Drilling & Fastening (VDAF) is a software application for simulating and programming auto-drilling & fastening machines. VDAF is independent of both the machine and CAD system.
