Like, the material removal and simulation engine was built from scratch by Cimco?

Why does mastercam need a third party verification module? I'm so confused!
no.. it's built by Cimco Edit
and I agree completely but.....
It's got a some feature MC Verify doesn't have and a couple that work much better
1. you can launch it in Cimco Edit mode and it will post the file, port everything to Cimco Edit and you can run Cimco Verify and watch it stepping though gcode.
2. Compare is much faster than Verify Compare... and more useful. You can launch Compare and drag your mouse over the
finished model and measure your stock thickness dynamically
3. The visual quality of the cut model is superior to MC Verify during and after cutting.
The only thing I've found missing is color loop between tools.. and I'm hoping that is a problem between the seat and the keyboard.
4. Service .. I called 4 different Mastercam numbers today, did not reach anyone that could help, left three messages and have not heard back from anyone. I called Cimco America and Mike spent an hour and a half trying to help, even though I am not a Cimco America customer.
Today was not an emergency, by any means, but if it had been, I would still be dead in the water.
As I said earlier, I really really really miss my old Mastercam dealer.
If you follow that link, you can download a copy with a full thirty day trial license.
I don't know how many version back it supports, but I have 25, 226 and 27 on this machine and offered to install CEV
into all three versions.. I just let it do 2027.

If you get this are you paying twice for the same technology just with different front end.

I'm still not clear on which license is required for each feature.

Last post by gcode - September 02, 2026, 12:12 PMOK, I couldn't get Cimco Verify to accept my license.
I called my MC dealer ... straight to voice mail
I called my dealer's sales line straight to voicemail
I called Mastercam Central's Sales line.. they answered right away and forwarded me to
my new official Mastercam rep ... straight to voice mail
It's been about 3 hours and zero call backs..
I am thankful this was not an emergency.
I have found memories of back in the day when I had a hasp die on me.
CadCam Consulting hand delivered me a new hasp less than an hour after I called.
After going 0 and 4 with Mastercam, I called Cimco America.
Mike S spent an hour on the phone trying to help, then made some phone calls.
Cimco Ultra is just a new name for what I already have.
Cimco Verify is a new product that requires a new license.
It's $1K to buy and about $210/year maintenance.
I've got 30 days to play with the trial license, but I'm pretty sure I will be buying this

If I'm reading this right I should be able to run it on my current license though I have been unsuccessful getting it to accept my license

Industrial / Cimco Verify for Mastercam
Last post by gcode - September 02, 2026, 09:56 AMI've run the full version of Cimco Edit for years because of it's backplot capability.
Back in the day it was $150 to buy and $50/year for mainteance... a real bargain.
I don't know what it costs buy now and maintenance is higher, but it's still a bargain.
I just installed the latest version (26.01.20) and it asked me if I'd like to install Cimco Verify for Mastercam. Of course, I said OK
It looks like it will run NCI like Mastercam Verify and can also run posted code on machine simulations like Vericut.
My current Cimco license does not support it and I'm running on a 30 day demo license.
I think there are 2 different licensing levels ... on fro NCI support and one for gcode support.
The NCI version is very impressive, it lauches and runs right out of Mastercam just like Mastercam Verify.
The visual quality is far superior to regular Mastercam Verify.
Assuming the price reasonable, I plan to add it to my license.
So far I have been unsuccessful in getting any details as all phone numbers lead to voicemail and I have not had a call back yet.
I really miss my old Mastercam dealer

Last post by ghuns - September 01, 2026, 11:23 AMQuote from: CNCAppsJames on August 31, 2026, 08:31 AMSO embarrassing.
Weather gets a little uncomfortable and Southern California sports fans get all soft. I'm in SoCal for the next two weeks on business. We would have gone but it was our Granddaughter's Opening Day and my wife never like to miss those if she can help it.
It also is uncomfortable at LSU, Florida, Ole Miss, Auburn, etc.
Hell, I am counting down the minutes until I get leave and go dove hunting in 90° and 80% humidity in northern fucking Indiana.
I don't know how many doves I'll shoot, but I will put down a limit of beers.
