CNC Lathe Simulator is a software simulator of a numerical control lathe is an educational methodological development intended for basic familiarization of novice machine building specialists with the principles of programming parts turning operations using standard G-code (ISO).

The three-dimensional simulation model is based on a lathe with an inclined bed equipped with a CNC system a twelve-position turret head a three-jaw chuck a tailstock a system for supplying lubricating and cooling liquid and other units. The material is processed along two controlled axes.

Field of application of the software product: educational process using computer technology: laboratory lessons of students in computer classes distance learning demonstration support of lecture material in the group of areas of training and specialties: «Metallurgy Engineering and Material Processing».

The main functions of the application: editing the code of control programs of a lathe operations with control program files setting up geometric parameters of a cutting tool continuous/step-by-step execution of control program blocks three-dimensional visualization of tool movements in the machine’s workspace simplified visualization of the workpiece surface calculation of processing modes a brief reference guide on using G-code.
