Abstract CNC Simulator Pro is a software application designed to bridge the gap between theoretical G-code programming and practical CNC machining. This paper presents the architecture, core features, and educational benefits of the simulator. Unlike basic trajectory viewers, CNC Simulator Pro provides a physics-aware 3D environment that includes material removal simulation, collision detection, and machine-specific kinematic models. The paper discusses its application in reducing machining errors, improving student safety, and lowering training costs. Preliminary user feedback from vocational institutions indicates a 40% reduction in scrap material during initial hands-on training phases. 1. Introduction Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining remains a cornerstone of modern manufacturing. However, direct hands-on training on physical machines presents several challenges: risk of costly crashes, material waste, and limited access to industrial equipment. G-code verification is traditionally performed using basic backplotting tools, which often fail to detect subtle collisions or incorrect toolpaths within complex fixtures.
| Metric | Basic Backplotter | CNC Simulator Pro | Physical Machine | |--------|------------------|-------------------|------------------| | Collision detection | No (only toolpath) | Yes (full assembly) | Yes (but destructive) | | Cycle time estimation | ±30% | ±8% | Actual | | Material removal view | Wireframe | Solid voxel | Observational | | Max program size | ~10k lines | ~500k lines | Unlimited |
