About this app

The CNC milling machine simulator is a multimedia application designed to provide a basic introduction to beginner mechanical engineering professionals with the principles of programming operations for milling parts using a standard (ISO) G-code.
The main task of the application is syntactic analysis (parsing) of the code of control programs in order to build a graphical model of cutting tool trajectories in three-dimensional space.
The main functions of the application: editing the code of the control programs of the milling machine, operations with files of control programs, setting the geometric parameters of the cutting tool, continuous/step-by-step execution of blocks of control programs, three-dimensional visualization of tool movements in the working space of the machine, simplified visualization of the machined surface of the part, calculation of processing modes, a quick reference guide to using G-code.
The main limitations of the application are: low accuracy of cutting surface modeling, the impossibility of using polygonal geometry as a workpiece, a simplified model of machine tooling elements.

Ratings and reviews

I can't say enough about this program. It's a learning/confidence builder at its finest. It's got everything from making straight linear cuts, to macros to subroutines. Along with it comes an explanation of each mode and the rules that pertain to each one if them. This is such a great learning tool. I can't imagine how much money from machine crashing this app has saved me (A bunch). This is truly a first rate app by some first rate people. They even responded quickly to a question I had. A+

It's cool, I wish it had more tooling options, boring bars, saw slitters, more face mills different insert mill options etc, and also I wish the rotational view was 360° with full zoom capabilities. Other than that, I wish the app would open regularly, it really is hard to open sometimes it takes a few taps before it opens if it opens at all.

I'm not gonna pay for this until you fix the loading issues. If it glitches and has a hard time opening and will only open after pressing the app selection button repeatedly then you all need to go back to the drawing board and figure out what's going on. This app isn't ready for market yet.
