Milling machine simulator

Very good idea of a game, not so good implementation. I'm not sure how accurate this is as a sim of real machines, but as a gaming experience it is definitely lacking. Going from tutorial of bare minimum to suddenly having to do precise cuts in career mode is very steep. I barely managed to cut the first piece to exact specifications after many trial and error, but on the second one I just give up. I do as described in tutorial, I move the cutting tool until it hits the surface with edge finder on, turn on Move to position, reset and enter exact number of mm I'm looking for. The edge finder sometimes stops a few mm before the surface, Move to position acts unpredictably, sometimes moving way past the Target position and only limiting when going in opposite direction. Every time I try making a cut I either end up with some fractions of a mm left and have to do it again or overdo it and have to start the whole process again. Very frustrating. Needs more tutorials, specifically about precision.

I will probably give this another go because I design rather complex mechanical parts and haven't touched a mill in 20 years. That having been said, this is a very poorly made piece of software and calling it a game is a stretch. The explanations are poor, the interface is eye-pokingly ugly and the mechanics are not well fleshed out. Unless you're an engineer, and aspiring machinist, and/or a masochist, stay away.

be me: > go to work and do stuff with lathes and milling machines > "wow, finally work is over and i can go home" > "time to play some games" > *plays lathe/machining simulator* I like it. Its still in development and has bugs sometimes but overall its pretty nice for casual machining and learning the basics of using those machines. Obviously its not a super extreme realistic game that some irl machinists might expect, but its good if you just want some machining fun without having to buy a machine or changing jobs.

got this because I'm missing milling and turning. after that i worked as a welder and later as a production planner. it's surprisingly good. sadly the CNC doesn't have a Heidenhain or Sinumerik-like control, but I'm definitely happy with it. (tho im not missing welding) another small thing: material disappears if you drive a stationary tool into the part. in reality that obviously wouldn't cut, it would just crash or push material, unless you're broaching or something similar but keep up the good work

The best milling machine/CNC sandbox simulation software out there. its fun just being able to mess with these tools, and being able to undo a head crash xD +an active dev that constantly updates. very much worth it.

好扯喔 如果亂進刀 工件還會崩角 這甚麼細節

By far the best machine simulator I've ever played. Very detailed hundreds of hours of gameplay well worth the purchase. Active developers on there Discord that actually respond to feedback.

It does not work to import cam programs into the game. It just chops and cant read it properly. Cant recommend until they fix it.

This is a great simulation to at least familiarize yourself with the capabilities of a mill. My cuts are repeatable to the micron as long as my feedrate is below 0.4m/min, so I don't think this game will limit what I can make even when I get to CNC. The developers are active in their discord and they have been fixing all of the bugs I've reported. The edge finder is now reliable and accurate to about 5 micron horizontally and vertically, you just have to wait for it to rebound and slowly approach the surface again. It works best with auto move on. The game does have a bit of a learning curve, but operating a manual mill has a learning curve. You may have to do a little math with your tool diameter and part dimensions. I think this game can go a long way toward helping engineers design parts that machinists can actually make.
