A study in CNC software use

Loughborough University's Wolfson School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering has strong links with leading industrial companies, creating the opportunity for students to graduate with exceptional engineering skills and real life application experience. One of the supporting links between academia and industry is provided by CGTech's advanced CNC simulation and optimisation software, VERICUT.

The Manufacturing Engineering degree is a niche course with a wide variety of core subjects that need to be covered. Part of the second year includes a six week module, which takes the students through the process of designing a component through to manufacturing it. Once students have come up with their designs, VERICUT is used to look for technical errors.
