ModuleWorks Announces GPU Simulation Launch Partners: Sandvik’s Cimatron and Mastercam

ModuleWorks announces the upcoming market launch of its GPU Simulation. As part of the company’s strategic partnership with Sandvik, the CAD/CAM software brands Cimatron and Mastercam will be the first to make the technology available in a commercial CAM solution. The rollout is scheduled for the next releases of both Cimatron and Mastercam.

ModuleWorks GPU Simulation uses GPU-accelerated processing to increase simulation speed. Benchmark tests indicate performance improvements of up to ten times compared to CPU-based approaches1. The technology is particularly aimed at large and complex 3- and 5-axis parts, where fast verification can significantly shorten programming cycles.

Integrating GPU Simulation with the multi-axis capabilities of Cimatron and Mastercam is designed to enable more efficient verification and programming workflows and increase job throughput.



Dr. Yavuz Murtezaoglu, Founder and Managing Director of ModuleWorks: “It’s exciting to see our GPU Simulation being rolled out in two of the industry’s leading solutions. Our strong partnership with Sandvik and their Cimatron and Mastercam brands demonstrates how collaboration can accelerate the adoption of new technologies. By working together in a strategic manner, we’re able to quickly bring real performance gains to CAM users in the production environment.”

Magnus Malmström, Chief Technology Officer, from Intelligent Manufacturing at Sandvik: “By harnessing the massive GPU-accelerated simulation through, e.g. NVIDIA GPUs, we’re cutting toolpath verification from minutes to seconds, enabling manufacturers to work faster, safer and more efficiently. In collaboration with ModuleWorks, it comes to life now in our leading CAM solutions. This is a turning point to simplify manufacturing that empowers engineers to innovate and scale with confidence.”

Ivan Krstic, Vice President of Product, at Mastercam: “Mastercam’s mission is to create software and services that solve the world’s manufacturing challenges. Being first to announce GPU Simulation to our user community means they will gain an immediate edge in simulation speed, power and workflow confidence, reinforcing the very advantages that have made Mastercam the world’s most widely adopted and versatile CAD/CAM solution. Whether in the classroom or on the production floor, in aerospace, automotive, or general machining, this technology will deliver tangible value to all our users.”

GPU Simulation will be incorporated into the next Mastercam release, planned for early 2026.

Simone Bonino, Global Product Director from Cimatron: “Cimatron sets the standard for innovation in toolmaking and complex part manufacturing. Early access to GPU Simulation in our integrated CAD/CAM end-to-end solution puts our users ahead of the curve, delivering the fastest, most reliable CAM simulation and programming workflow available. This breakthrough empowers moldmakers, die designers and advanced manufacturers to handle even the toughest jobs, like machining large 3- and 5-axis mold and die components, with more speed and accuracy, helping them deliver high-quality parts, faster than ever.”
