CGTech introduces new VERICUT features at user conferences across Japan

September 10, 2017

From late August to early September 2017, CGTech, the developer and distributor of VERICUT, held user conferences in Tokyo, Kobe, and Nagoya (see photo). Approximately 50 people attended in Tokyo, 60 in Kobe, and 70 in Nagoya.

At the Nagoya session on September 8, CGTech introduced VERICUT v8.0.3, which was released in June 2017. One of the key updates in v8.0.3 is a standardized feed rate optimization function for air cutting, enabling users to reduce non-cutting time and shorten overall machining cycles.

The company also previewed new features coming in version 8.1, scheduled for release in Japan in early 2018. These include optional simulation functions for grinding wheels, dressers, and powder bed metal 3D printers.

Satoshi Yamada, Country Manager of CGTech Japan, noted that version 8.1 would offer greater flexibility and performance enhancements. The conference also featured real user case studies and demonstrations of useful VERICUT functions.
