Advanced Engineering 2026 takes place at NEC Birmingham on 4–5th November 2026, with over 9,000 engineering professionals and 400 suppliers expected in Halls 3 & 3a. Visitor registration is free.
Vericut will be at Stand Q140-19 demonstrating CNC simulation, verification, optimisation and post-processing technologies. Its pitch to manufacturers is blunt:
"Innovation in manufacturing is rarely valuable simply because it is new."
The questions Vericut wants visitors to bring are practical ones: "Can an expensive machine spend more of its available time producing parts?" and "Can more of the uncertainty normally encountered during prove-out be moved away from the physical machine?"
Verification first, optimisation second
Vericut's simulation evaluates the final, post-processed NC program against a digital representation of the CNC machine, including kinematics, tooling, fixtures and control behaviour. Digital verification allows programmers to investigate machine behaviour without physical equipment.
Vericut Force Optimization then adjusts feed rates based on cutter engagement, chip thickness and cutting force, while leaving the toolpath geometry unchanged. UK turbine component manufacturer ELE Advanced Technologies reduced cutting tool costs by 20% per component and cut cycle times by 11% using the technology.
AI as a knowledge shortcut
Vericut Assistant provides context-aware, step-by-step guidance in response to natural-language questions. Vericut Intelligence offers a web-based knowledge resource, and AI-assisted guidance is being introduced within Icam Post.
M4S Take:: The 20% and 11% figures come from a single named case study, ELE Advanced Technologies, not a fleet-wide average. Turbine components are a favourable use case for feed-rate optimisation; shops running simpler parts should ask Vericut at Stand Q140-19 what results look like on their own programs before budgeting for savings.
