Key Performance Indicator for application of Numerical Control Simulation Tools

As Numerical Control (NC) machine being used widely and increases efficiency dramatically, it is important to improve the quality of NC code. Though NC simulation tools help eliminate defects of tool path and NC code, it still lacks Key Performance Indicator (KPI) to ensure the application quality of these tools in process of NC life-cycle. This paper proposed initial study of KPI in the application of NC simulation tools.
