Surface Estimation Tool
Perfect the finish—simulate quality before you cut.
Ensure the best surface quality before actual machining using digital twin manufacturing software FANUC’s Surface Estimation Tool replicates real-world surface finish results in digital simulations to accurately check not only the part shape, but also machining quality level. Prior to any real-world cutting, the software precisely estimates a part’s machined surface by using the position data of each axis then simulating the cutting to detect machining issues. Knowing this before cutting helps avoid wasting valuable time and materials that otherwise might be produced with marks or other surface defects.

Key Features
- Reproduces the machining quality level of a real machined surface by CNC commands
- Works with CNC GUIDE 2 or a real CNC to visualize the machined surface; surface roughness is measurable as well
- Displays the machining status such as tool speed, tool acceleration and path errors via differentiating colors on the machined surface
- Enables identification of problems in the machining quality level
Key Benefits
- Detect machining problems before cutting
- Minimize wasted time in machining a part
- Avoid scrapping costly materials in trial machining
- Free up the machine for production rather than testing
