Is it mandatory to rung a G-Code simulation / verification software if you are looking to do 5 axis machining?
I recently purchased a 5axis milling center and this boggles my mind. With this new machine and other investments, I don’t like my cash status right now, so I don’t want to spend money unnecessarily for a bit.
For now, I can either get; Fusion360 plus a G-Code simulation - verification software or Solidworks / SolidCAM 5 Axis package with build in machine simulation.
If I am correct, SolidCAM Machine simulation do no simulate machine's rapid movement, it only simulates the cut and this makes me a bit nervous.
Thank you!
