Programming & Simulation Software for Automated Fiber-Placement (AFP) and Tape-Laying Machines (ATL)

Version 7.1.3 is now shipping. Click here to request it.

Machine-independent off-line programming and simulation software for automated fiber-placement and tape-laying machines consists of three components that can be used individually or together: VERICUT Composite Paths for Engineering (VCPe), VERICUT Composite Programming (VCP), and VERICUT Composite Simulation (VCS).

VERICUT Composite Paths
for Engineering

VCPe gives a composite part designer, mechanical engineer or process engineer access to the same software tools NC programmers use to create NC program paths that are subsequently used in the workshop to lay-up a composite part. Learn more…

VERICUT Composite
Programming

VCP reads CAD models of the layup tool and ply boundary information that defines the laminate or ply stack and creates motion paths that add material and fill each ply boundary according to the user’s engineering requirements and manufacturing standards. Learn more…

VERICUT Composite
Simulation

VCS reads CAD models and NC programs, either from VCP or other composite layup path-generation applications, and simulates the sequence of NC programs on a virtual machine.Material is applied to the layup form via NC program instructions in a virtual CNC simulation environment. Learn more…
