CNC Lathe Simulator is a software simulator of a numerical control lathe is an educational methodological development intended for basic familiarization of novice machine building specialists with the principles of programming parts turning operations using standard G-code (ISO).
The three-dimensional simulation model is based on a lathe with an inclined bed, equipped with a CNC system, a twelve-position turret head, a three-jaw chuck, a tailstock, a system for supplying lubricating and cooling liquid, and other units. The material is processed along two controlled axes.
Field of application of the software product: educational process using computer technology: laboratory lessons of students in computer classes, distance learning, demonstration support of lecture material in the group of areas of training and specialties: «Metallurgy, Engineering and Material Processing».
The main functions of the application: editing the code of control programs of a lathe, operations with control program files, setting up geometric parameters of a cutting tool, continuous/step-by-step execution of control program blocks, three-dimensional visualization of tool movements in the machine’s workspace, simplified visualization of the workpiece surface, calculation of processing modes, a brief reference guide on using G-code.
The graphics component of the software uses the OpenGL 2.0 component base. The graphical user interface of the program is implemented in English.
This app has the potential for being an extremely good tool for CNC machinist. One thing that I might suggest would be adding functionality for Magic Keyboard. Another would be the ability to export programs directly to machine to avoid moving a computer when transferring.
Very well done and a great resource for the younger generation.

I work in a machine shop in the CNC department running CNC mills but have never been able to get good training in other departments and also have to have a programmer make programs for me to run said machines . This app (while the free one is riddled with adds ) is a amazing resource to those that can teach themselves and don’t want to risk crashing expensive machines to do it . Keep it up
Love this educational app for manufacturing!

Great app keep adding stuff it helps future generations trust me! Thanks
Great but..

This is a great simulator, but…I can’t load my macro programs. Anyway you can change the panel and make the simulator accept pasting macro programs, like your VMC simulator?
