      <p class="para_topic">Since ISV reflects the behavior of the actual machine and its controller, you can catch any problem related to the machine tool during tool path generation. You can even pass this knowledge back to the designers to incorporate into the design part (design for manufacturability). By the time the part is ready for real-life machining, you have ascertained that the part can be machined on your machine tool and have removed many of the hurdles which might have lead to downtime on the machine and consequently saved money. </p>
      <p class="para_topic">Other benefits of ISV are:</p>
      <ul>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">The architecture allows the controller manufacturer to plug in its software controller. </p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">The configurable collision checking allows collision detection between arbitrary machine components, fixtures, tool, and part.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">You can preview all machining operations including macros, subroutine calls, cycles, and controller M, G and H commands.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">It improves the machining quality. </p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">It eliminates expensive and time-consuming proofing and dry runs.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">It reduces the risk of expensive damage to machine, fixtures tools and workpiece.</p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">It increases machine tool utilization by performing operations that were previously avoided because of lack of validation and visualization tools. </p>
         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">It helps educate your workforce by using the system as a training system for new operators and programmers. </p>
