Multitask effortlessly on your PC or Mac as you try out CNC Simulator Lite, a Education app by Virtual Laboratories and Technical Simulators on BlueStacks.

About the App

Curious about how CNC lathes work, or maybe you’re just getting started with G-code programming? CNC Simulator Lite is designed to make the basics easy to grasp. Created by Virtual Laboratories and Technical Simulators, this education app turns the precise world of machine tools into a hands-on learning experience. You’ll be able to experiment with turning operations, see real-time 3D simulations, and get the hang of the whole process at your own pace.

App Features

  • Realistic CNC Lathe Simulation
    Interact with a virtual lathe based on actual machines—complete with a twelve-position turret head, three-jaw chuck, and all the technical bits you’d expect. It’s all visualized in detailed 3D, from the inclined bed to the cooling systems.

  • G-code Programming Made Accessible
    Edit, test, and refine your own code for different machining operations. Not sure where you went wrong? Step through each block to see how your program affects the tool’s movement.

  • Hands-On Tool Setup
    Adjust geometric tool parameters and play around with different setups to see how small changes impact your turning process. It’s a safe way to experiment before ever touching an actual lathe.

  • Visualize Every Move
    Watch a 3D animation of your tool and workpiece within the machine workspace. The simplified surface visualization makes it easy to follow exactly what’s happening during any operation.

  • User-Friendly Controls
    Run code continuously or break it down step by step—perfect for both quick checks and detailed learning.

  • Quick Reference Guide
    Handy tips and essential info on G-code are just a tap away, so you’re never stuck guessing what each command does.

  • Flexible Learning
    Great for classroom use, home learning, or distance ed. And if you want a bigger view or more comfortable controls, the app also runs smoothly on BlueStacks.
