CGTech celebrates 30-year milestone

CGTech marks three decades in business in 2018. Based in Irvine, Calif., the company has 10 wholly owned subsidiaries in the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Japan, China, Singapore, India, Brazil, and Korea.

The company started when founder Jon Prun recognized a need to verify NC tool path programs without wasting CNC machining time on a prove-out part. The firm developed VERICUT® software, which simulates material removal using a 3-D solid model. It was the first widely available, productive method to test NC machine tool paths in an offline virtual reality environment, the company states.
