What is the CNC simulator

In this post, I try to share a little about cnc simulator,what is cnc simulator and how it's works, in contrast to the actual cnc,as a simulator they can only be operated on a computer or laptop, so it could be said that this simulator as a virtual cnc A great software to learn about cnc, about programming and about the setting, because we can operate a cnc somewhat similar to cnc machines in fact, how to enter the program manually, setting tool, specify the work coordinate system,facing your work pieces and other function, you can find this software by browse on google, below are video that how the CNC simulator work

                                           

as a cnc machinist, i believe that you are familiar with the button on the cnc machine,but sometimes also exist among us who are familiar with machine but not so familiar with programming,

The following example that i already attach drawing picture,and Numerical Control (NC) code,so you can try input into cnc simulator and looks how it's works!

please make sure the work coordinate system on your cnc simulate is top left corner

and here is NC code, you can type it into simulator
