Absolutely, and a lot of people do. The simulator is a complete design-and-preview environment: load or generate a shape, scale and position it, watch the wire animate through the foam, read the estimated cut time, and export the G-code — all without any hardware.
That makes it useful for learning, for planning a build before you buy parts, for checking whether a design is even cuttable on a straight-wire machine, and for generating files you hand to someone else who owns a cutter. When you eventually build or buy a machine, the same files stream straight to it over USB or Wi-Fi. Nothing about your earlier work is wasted.
