Test cutting used to verify cutting conditions and machining accuracy after a numeric control (NC) program is written for end milling the mold and die indispensable to manufacturing is generally effective, because it is based on trial and error. The virtual machining simulator we designed to verify machining accuracy uses an accuracy-prediction model and an error prediction expression for workpieces, integrating machine-tool deformation and geometric error models. We also propose calculation for copying errors to a workpiece.
