CNC Simulator


Description:

It was internship program done at Kennametal Widia ltd., second largest tool manufacturing company in Asia.

As a team of engineers we were given freedom to come up with any idea that could help them in their pre – production plan for purchasing of tools and expedite the initial process.

As a result we came up with idea of creating pre – production simulation tool.

It was an environment in which Conventional Lathe workers could easily program and could get the top view of the right shape of the tool. This helped them to visualize how it would look and to estimate how much it would cost before buying it.

Technical Details:

C – Programming language.
G Code -  Machine language read by CNC machines.

Hardware
CNC Machines – Computer Numerical Control

Role:

I was the Lead C programmer & interface designer responsible for creating the logic which would read G Code from workers and show them graphical output in a easy to read manner.

Challenges:

We were suppose to deliver the product in 55 days. This turned out to be the overall challenge of this project.

Outcome:

We delivered the required product on time and on budget.
