Built around the machine on your floor.
The model every other service runs against, configured to your machine as it stands today.
- Kinematics and axis travel limits, from your machine’s own configuration
- The tools and holders you actually load, not a library default
- Fixtures, vises and workholding as they sit on the table
- Control behaviour, set up to match the control you run
You get back A model baseline: what the model includes, the assumptions behind it, and what it leaves out.
Every line checked before the spindle turns.
Your posted G-code, run through the model the way the control will read it.
- The posted code your machine will run, not the CAM preview
- Your real tools, holders, fixtures and stock in the model
- Each finding tied to the program line that causes it
- The corrected program can run through the same model again
You get back A findings register for the program, and a clear pass or fail against the criteria agreed at the start.
Where the cycle loses time, and where it runs too close.
Once the program is safe, the same model shows where it could be better.
- Air cutting and rapid moves that add time without removing metal
- Tool engagement and feed changes worth a second look
- Clearances that are legal but uncomfortably tight
- Sequence changes, tried in the model before the machine
You get back Recommended changes, each one run through the model, with the effect the model shows.
Try the new setup before it exists.
A new machine, fixture or sequence, proved in the model while there is still time to change it.
- Reach and clearance for a new fixture or part
- Whether an existing program suits a new or different machine
- Fit questions answered before the machine is installed
- First programs for a new machine, validated ahead of the first run
You get back A commissioning report: what was tried, what passed, and what has to change before the first real run.
Findings your people can act on.
A model is only useful if the programmers and operators can use what it shows.
- Walk-throughs of the findings with your programmers
- Visual work instructions taken from the model
- Sessions built around your own programs, not generic examples
- Plain notes on what the model assumes and leaves out
You get back Material your team keeps: annotated findings, views from the model and the notes behind them.
The same check on every job.
For shops that want validation as a step in the process, not an occasional study.
- A defined route from your CAM output into the model
- The same checks and pass criteria on every program
- The model kept in step as tooling and fixtures change
- A record of what was checked, when, and against which model revision
You get back A validation step your team can rely on, with a record for every program that goes through it.

One model. Every service runs on it.
The digital twin is built once, for your machine. Validation, process work, commissioning and training all run against that same model, so each service you add starts from what is already there, not from zero.
Built once, then kept in step with your machine
One set of assumptions behind every finding
Start with one program, or check every one.
One program, one machine
A first study, to see what the model finds.
Validation on every job
For shops that want every new program checked.
Which service, and when.
Which service should we start with?
Usually NC program validation, on one program and one machine. It needs the digital twin, so a first study gives you both: a model of your machine, and an answer about a program you care about. What comes next depends on what that study finds.
Can we add services later?
Yes. Every service runs against the same model, so adding process engineering, commissioning or training later builds on the twin you already have instead of starting again.
How do we choose between the two ways to start?
If there is one program that worries you, start there. If every new program goes through the same machines and the same risks, validation on every job makes the check part of how you work, not an occasional study.
What if our machine has been modified or retrofitted?
Then the model is built from the machine as it stands now, not from the original brochure. Changes to the control, the axes, the tooling or the workholding are confirmed during scoping, before the model is built.
What happens after a finding?
It reaches you with the program line that causes it, what the model shows happening, and what we recommend. Your programmer makes the change, and the corrected program can be run through the same model again.
