MachineWorks verification is fully integrated within SURFCAM and provides customers with visually-rich graphics and a variety of superior verification tools. The perfectly accurate stock to design-part comparison ensures that the finished product stays true to the initial CAD model. By comparing the processed stock model with the original design, it quickly identifies, lists, and displays surface irregularities, remaining stock material and rapid-feed clashes. The infinite navigation and zoom tools enable manipulation of the model during animation without quality degradation. This animation can be paused to closely inspect areas of concern or accelerated to avoid waiting through long, less-critical portions of the program.
