# Vericut

> Vericut, the trading brand of CGTech, develops software that simulates, verifies and optimizes CNC manufacturing before programs run on physical equipment. Its portfolio spans machine simulation, physics-based feed-rate optimization, composite programming and simulation, and Icam post-processing, serving manufacturers worldwide as part of Sandvik.

- **Founded:** 1988
- **Headquarters:** Irvine, United States
- **Founders:** Jon Prun (Founder and former CEO)
- **Products:** Vericut Verification, CNC Machine Simulation, Vericut Force, Vericut Optimizer, Vericut Composite Programming and Simulation
- **Notable:** Developing CNC simulation software since 1988., Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Force trial reported a reduction from 195 to 147 minutes for one radiator component., Vericut and Seco teams received the 2025 Sandvik Sustainability Award in Memory of Sigrid Göransson.

## Products & services

- **Vericut Verification** — Simulates machine-ready NC code and material removal to identify programming errors, gouges and excess material.
- **CNC Machine Simulation** — Models the machine, tooling, fixtures and workpiece to check motion, collisions and near misses.
- **Vericut Force** — Physics-based optimization module that adjusts feed rates using cutting forces, chip thickness and spindle limits.
- **Vericut Optimizer** — Standalone physics-based NC program optimization; does not require Vericut Verification.
- **Vericut Composite Programming and Simulation** — VCP programs automated fiber placement and tape laying; VCS validates composite machine programs.
- **Vericut Icam Post** — Post-processing software and custom posts that turn CAM output into machine-specific NC programs.
- **Vericut Assistant and Vericut Intelligence** — AI guidance inside the software and a product knowledge resource, introduced with version 9.6.
- **Additive Manufacturing Simulation** — Simulation of additive and hybrid manufacturing sequences.
- **Training and technical support** — Application assistance, training and worldwide customer support.
