ModuleWorks, the
leading supplier of CAD/CAM components for 3-5-Axis toolpath generation and
simulation has consolidated its position in the simulation component market with
the acquisition of HeilTech. |
12. March 2009: Release of
HSVerify v0.5
 |
HSVerify 5Axis mode now supports
multicores and parallelization with a parallel efficiency of almost 100%.
This means on an N-core system a Speed-up factor of N is achieved.
Below are some benchmarks for the example on the left. The corresponding nc-code
consists of about 17.000 lines and the grid resolution is 150 x 360 x 56.

HSVerify includes a new core for the computation of
tooltraces. The Speed-up, compared to the old version, is a factor of 5x on a
single cpu and a factor of 20x on a quad-core system. |
04. December 2008:
PreRelease of HSVerify
|
HSVerify is a tool for simulating highspeed milling processes. It includes all
features of the former product VerifyIt, plus a novel gpu-based approch for
3Axis milling. Depending on the capabilities of the GPU, HSVerify provides
almost instant viewing even for millions of tool traces.
Below are some benchmarks for the example on the left.
The corresponding nc-code consists of about 100.000 lines and the grid resolution is 1024*1024 pixels.
