New Stock Simulation Enhance Algorithm Released in Beta
In the beginning of September we announced that we were close to releasing a new enhancing algorithm for stock simulation. We are pleased to announce that it is now available in BETA and can be tried and tested in the latest release of CIMCO Edit 2024.
We are truly excited about our new algorithm and the significant quality enhancements it now brings to stock simulation within CIMCO Edit 2024 – Backplot and NC Machine Simulation.

Revolutionizing Material Removal Simulation
Our new algorithm is an addition to the raw stock model calculation that enhances it by cleverly taking into account every tool sweep and the exact profile of each tool. This approach provides a close-to-realistic simulation of how a part will actually look when machined.
The “Enhance” algorithm leverages tool sweep information to accurately measure and correct errors on the generated stock model. With each iteration, it reduces simulation errors, allowing it to reach arbitrary levels of precision by simply running for more iterations.
In the video, The “Enhance” algorithm runs for a moderate amount of iterations. It can be tuned to be more accurate or even faster than demonstrated. With a moderate setting, as in the video, the quality far outperforms our existing methods and it still runs significantly faster, completing within a few seconds even for large parts, on modern GPUs. A single iteration with the new “Enhance” algorithm updates almost instantly while still providing better results than the previous method that was used.
“True Vision” Mode (Coming soon)
In addition to the “Enhance” algorithm, we are excited to unveil an additional mode we call “True Vision”. This mode uses a ray-tracing-like process to render a pixel-perfect view of the stock model, allowing you to inspect every little detail. True Vision updates in less than a second on good GPUs and activates automatically when the camera is still. While the camera is moving, the quality reverts to the “Enhance” algorithm model, ensuring a seamless user experience.
