The GibbsCAM machine simulation option, software for programming CNC machine tools, supports simulation and validation of a CNC program’s machine tool motion, including five-axis simultaneous milling machines. 

Multi-task machine tools can machine a variety of parts within their working space and without human intervention, which increases productivity and quality. 

The software offers support for turning, mill/turn and multitask machine tools. Machine tool models can be built and set up like the real machine tool, and then the CNC program is simulated to validate it prior to running the CNC program on the machine tool. Not only does this allow potential programming errors to be visually identified before they become mistakes on the shop floor, but program inefficiencies can also be recognized and addressed.
