3D Cutting Simulator – Mach4 Hobby Plugin

This Plugin was created by ModuleWorks for Mach4 – Hobby. The Plugin adds a new display to Mach4 that allows the virtual cutting of parts. Inputs such as the tool measurement, material size, cutting speed, etc. are all used and displayed on the screen as if the part was actually being cut on a real machine. This Plugin gives users a method to test their gcode before cutting real stock. This plugin is licensed and supported by Artsoft.

This plugin allows a user to run a 3 Axis cnc Mill or Router in a virtual display and determine if the gcode is producing the desired result. Version #2 includes the ability to use tapered tools such as v-nose bits for engraving. The newest version has several fixes and also includes the ability to change the reference point. More changes are coming, buy before the final version is completed and the sale price is gone.

CAUTION: The Simulation is limited to the tool and the stock being machined and will Not indicate interference or crash potentials with clamps, work surfaces, the cnc machine itself, etc.
