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.
