Viewing and Simulation

The ST-Machine Explorer can display and simulate the product and machining information within a STEP-NC file.

Toolpaths, feeds and speeds are displayed in context with the workpiece and tool shape information. You can pan, roll, and zoom to investigate various aspects of the part or process, and you can view the tool motions step-by-step, or as a continuous animation.

Turn the workpiece and fixtures on or off to see toolpaths in context, view the tool parameters, workingsteps and any nested workplans or NC functions. If your file contains machining features or geometric tolerances (the more advanced AP238 CC3 and CC4 data), the ST-Machine Explorer can display and browse those as well!

Next, run the program on your CNC control!
