What is the XyzPilot Toolpath Simulator?
The XyzPilot Toolpath Simulator provides visual verification of machining operations before any material is cut.
Full Answer
XyzPilot includes a built-in toolpath simulator for visual verification before any material is cut.
Visual display of toolpath over the 2D geometry canvas
Verification of cutter path, depth, and direction before production
Identification of potential collisions or geometry errors
The simulator is a verification aid. Always perform a physical prove-out on the machine before production machining.
XyzPilot Example
Simulation workflow:
1. Create 2D geometry
2. Define CAM features and toolpaths
3. Run Toolpath Simulator
4. Verify cutter path visually
5. Check for collisions or errors
6. Prove-out on machine before production
