Software company Vericut announces the release of Vericut 9.7, the latest version of its CNC simulation, verification and optimisation software. According to the company, it delivers major performance and precision gains at real speed, thanks to expanded AI-powered assistance, and workflow enhancements designed for the most demanding CNC environments.

Today’s manufacturers face growing program complexity, tighter deadlines, and increasing pressure to do more with less, without compromising quality. Vericut 9.7 introduces major performance enhancements across simulation, verification, and review workflows.

Key performance improvements include:

Faster simulation and processing performance.

Improved efficiency for complex NC programs.

Improved handling of advanced machine configurations and toolpath complexity.

Optimised workflows that reduce setup time.

Faster verification and review operations.

Real CNC simulation. Real performance.

Vericut 9.7 has been engineered for real manufacturing environments, where simulation performance is only valuable if it reflects actual machine behaviour. The software helps manufacturers detect collisions, verify G-code, review machine motion, and optimise processes before programs reach the shop floor. This makes Vericut 9.7 especially valuable for teams working with complex 5-axis machining, high-value materials, advanced machine configurations, and production environments where confidence is critical.

Powered by AI

Vericut 9.7 expands Vericut Assistant, the AI-powered guidance tool that helps users access Vericut knowledge directly within the software. Vericut Assistant helps drastically reduce the time users spend searching for answers, allowing programmers, engineers, and manufacturing teams to stay focused on machining productivity, and make best use of Vericut’s advanced capabilities.

Expanded AI assistance in Vericut 9.7 supports:

Faster answers to “How do I…” questions.

Context-aware guidance directly inside Vericut.

Easier navigation of advanced workflows.

Less time searching manuals.

Expanded access to Vericut knowledge and best practices.

Boost post-processing workflows with Icam Post V27.

Alongside Vericut 9.7, Icam Post V27 introduces new tools and workflow improvements designed to help post developers work faster, validate changes more confidently and maintain accurate NC output.

Vericut Icam Post V27 focuses on improving the everyday experience of developing, testing and maintaining post-processors. The release introduces AI-powered assistance, streamlined debugging, enhanced validation tools and a more intuitive user experience.

The new Vericut Icam Post AI Assistant provides immediate access to trusted product knowledge directly inside Quest and Gener. Grounded in official Icam Post documentation, the assistant helps users find answers, check macro syntax, and access product guidance without leaving their workflow.

Icam Post V27 also introduces a new Regression Testing Utility that helps teams compare NC output before and after changes, identify machine-impacting differences, and validate updates before deployment. This is particularly valuable when upgrading software, modifying post-processors, or working with updated CAM output.

Additional improvements include enhanced debugging workflows through Breakpoint Manager and Macro Manager, improved runtime visibility for programs of any size, enhanced documentation and search, per-view Virtual Machine controls, simplified display management, faster stock-difference calculations, greater kinematics visibility, and advanced Smartpath motion control.

Together, these updates help post developers spend less time searching, debugging, and validating, and more time delivering reliable NC programs.

Smarter, more connected user experience

Vericut 9.7 introduces a smarter, more connected user experience that helps both new and advanced users move through tasks more efficiently.

User experience enhancements include an updated Welcome Panel for rapid setup, instant access to Vericut Assistant with F2, advanced training resources, and streamlined navigation and workflow mapping for fewer clicks and faster results.
