Tech Tip 2021 #1 : Grinder Dressing

Reshape the grinding tool during simulation with Grinder-Dressing

As the grinding wheel removes material from the workpiece, it wears out. In order to ensure the roundness of the grinding wheel and to maintain the cut shape, a dresser unit is periodically used. With the proper Dresser device it is possible to change the diameter of the grinding wheel or to create a new cross-section profile on the wheel. With the Grinder-Dressing module, this process can be reproduced in VERICUT.
