Case Study: Nuclear AMRC achieves collision-free CNC simulation with Hexagon NCSIMUL

NCSIMUL digital twin ensures Nuclear AMRC gives clients accurate data

The Nuclear AMRC, a UK research centre supporting manufacturers in the nuclear sector, needed to guarantee the accuracy of G-code for complex CNC machining projects. They turned to Hexagon's NCSIMUL simulation software to create a digital twin of their machining process and ensure toolpaths were 100% collision-free before going to the shop floor.

Hexagon's NCSIMUL solution allowed the Nuclear AMRC to import full assembly files from their NX CAD software, saving considerable setup time. This provided a vital digital twin that eliminated errors, decreased setup time, reduced manufacturing costs, and increased shop floor productivity, giving them and their clients total confidence in the toolpath data.
