Vericut Highlights AI-Enhanced CNC Simulation and Optimisation at EMO 2025

Vericut, the industry’s benchmark for CNC simulation, verification, and optimisation, will unveil its newest developments at EMO 2025. At the Vericut stand, visitors will get hands-on with Vericut 9.6, the latest version that combines advanced artificial intelligence with trusted accuracy and precision to enhance CNC programming and machining workflows. Attendees will also be treated to a first look at what lies ahead in Vericut 9.7.

Precision Powered by AI

Vericut 9.6 debuts two innovative, AI-enabled tools:

- Vericut Assistant (VA) – A built-in digital expert that delivers step-by-step guidance, instantly answers “How do I…?” queries, and helps operators fully uses Vericut—all without leaving the application.

- Vericut Intelligence (VI) – A cloud-based, AI-powered knowledge hub providing comprehensive insights across the Vericut portfolio, from Force optimisation to X-Caliper. Always accessible, VI equips machinists, programmers, and engineers with information whenever and wherever they need it.

Enhancements Across the Suite

At EMO, attendees will also discover the latest updates designed to improve usability, communication, and manufacturing productivity:

- Vericut Reviewer Upgrades – AUTO-DIFF results, refined HUD controls, and customisable hotkeys simplify NC program reviews and reduce the risk of errors.

- PMI Data Integration – Import and visualise 3D Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) to streamline inspection, compliance, and documentation processes.

- Turning Improvements – More precise driven-point definitions and automatic qualified dimensions for imported turning tools accelerate setup times.

- Simplified Optimisation – A undated Optimisation Control window and default tool data settings make feedrate optimisation easier than ever.

- Broader Interfaces – Expanded connectivity includes FANUC CNC Guide II and Fanuc Robot Language Teach Pendant support, along with upgrades for numerous CAD/CAM interfaces.

Additionally, Vericut will showcase a new interface with Siemens Run MyVirtual Machine (RMVM). This connection enables smooth data transfer between systems and combines Siemens’ digital machine environment with Vericut’s powerful simulation and verification features—delivering unmatched flexibility, accuracy, and operator assurance.

Icam Post V26: Smarter Post-Processing

The event will also feature Icam Post V26, the latest version of Vericut’s post-processor solution. V26 strengthens its integration with Vericut by using project data to apply machine limits, tool lengths, and compensation values for improved accuracy. It also allows feedrate optimisation via Vericut Optimizer or Force before post-processing, ensuring NC programs are both reliable and efficient. Additional features include enhanced rotary axis handling, more options for customisation, and expanded controller support—streamlining shop floor operations and boosting confidence.

Why Visit Vericut at EMO 2025

At EMO 2025, attendees can witness live demonstrations of Vericut 9.6, seeing first-hand how it prevents crashes, improves part quality, and enhances shop floor communication. Experts will be available to show how Vericut fits into digital manufacturing workflows to maximise efficiency and productivity.

M4S TAKE

My take: AI claims need scrutiny. The useful implementations reduce cycle time or defect rates in measurable ways. Vague promises about 'optimization' without specific metrics are usually marketing.
