NC PROGRAM EDITING, SIMULATION AND VERIFICATION
The worlds #1 NC program editor.
A reliable, full-featured editing, simulation, and communication tool.
NC program editing and simulation
CIMCO Edit is a comprehensive, industry-standard software suite designed for professional CNC programmers. By moving the editing process from machine controls to a PC-based Windows environment, the software significantly increases programming speed and reduces the likelihood of coding errors.
Key capabilities include an intelligent NC-Assistant for rapid code modification, a high-performance 3D backplotter and solid simulator, and advanced file comparison tools that distinguish between critical code changes and trivial formatting adjustments. The platform is highly scalable, offering a wide array of add-ons for 2D CAD/CAM, machine simulation, and manufacturing data collection, making it a central component in digital manufacturing workflows.
NC program simulation on 3D machine models
CIMCO Machine Simulation is a high-resolution, 3D visualization add-on for CIMCO Edit designed to bridge the gap between NC programming and physical machining. By providing a virtual "prove-out" environment, the software allows manufacturers to identify costly programming errors, collisions, and axis-limit violations before code is sent to the shop floor.
The primary value proposition centers on risk mitigation and efficiency: protecting physical assets and personnel while accelerating job setup and machine shifting. Key features include GPU-accelerated simulation, automatic error reporting, seamless CAM integration with systems like Mastercam and SolidCAM, and a comprehensive library of pre-configured machine models.
The trial is valid for 30 days starting from the moment you first launch the software. After 30 days, the professional features will lock, and you will need a license key to continue your work.
If you need more time to finish a complex machine simulation or shop-floor test, please contact our support team. We are happy to provide extensions for valid evaluation projects.
No. You get 100% functionality. Unlike other software that limits the number of lines of code or disables “Save,” the CIMCO trial allows you to test every professional feature—including Backplot, File Compare, and NC Assistant—exactly as they work in the full version.
Yes. CIMCO is designed to be universal. During your trial, you can test our extensive range of Post Processors and backplotting tools to ensure they match your specific controller (Heidenhain, Fanuc, Haas, etc.) before you commit to a purchase.
Trial users have full access to our Online Knowledge Base, Video Tutorials, and PDF Manuals. For specific setup questions regarding your CNC machines, we recommend browsing our library of pre-configured machine templates.
No. The trial and the full version are the same software. When you purchase a license, you simply enter your activation key under Help > License Setup, and all your trial settings and machine configurations will stay exactly where they are.
