Hello,
I am getting started with Vericut 7 and want to build a machine (VTC-200 Mazak with 4th axis & trunnion table)... I have Solidworks Mastercam, NK, and autocad... What would the easiest way to be to make this machine? Should I start with a sample and change it? Or just start from scratch? The machine has y axis movement on the head not the table like most... Is there a place that has these machines already built?
Thanks

Hello,
The easiest way to learn how you can create machine in VERICUT is go to Help > On VERICUT > Go to CGTech help library tab > VERICUT Training Sessions tab > and for example Session 102 - Build a Kinematics Model of a 4-axis Mill. There is a lot of training sessions which can be useful for learning VERICUT. All models are stored in Training catalog.
In my opinion, if you have CAD model of this machine you can build it by yourself. First you have to create appropriate assembly in CAD system and then export STL models and after that read it to VERICUT.
PS: Build kinematic of the machine is easy. When you have to configure control, that is interesting
Sorry for my english, that is not my native language

Thanks for the info.. So I have Solidworks 2012 and NX... So I should build my machine model through these and export them as STL with Vericut? Is there a place that has models of certain machine made already? It will take me a while to build a machine from scratch.. We have mostly Mazak machines..
