| Basic GibbsCAM Overview/Production Modules CAM/CNC Programming System GibbsCAM® is a state-of-the-art, PC-based computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system for programming computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools. GibbsCAM's graphical user interface was designed for machinists by machinists, resulting in a user environment that is both familiar and efficient. This manufacturing orientation ensures that GibbsCAM's powerful functionality is also extremely easy to learn and use. GibbsCAM's free-form interaction style allows you to move easily between geometry creation, toolpath creation, process visualization/verification and post processing. GibbsCAM's ease-of-use, programming efficiency, speed and short training time makes GibbsCAM, the CAM industry's ease-of-use leader, the best tool for programming your parts. GibbsCAM is organized as a single application. The base package's capabilities can be extended through the addition of seamlessly integrated options. This way the system can be configured for your initial needs and gradually expanded as your needs grow, protecting your investment. Base packages and options include: ► Milling Package: 2-, 2.5- and 3-axis milling with simple 4th-axis positioning ► Turning Package: 2-axis turning ► Mill/Turn Package: Live tooling including support of C-, Y-, and B-axis ► Advanced Milling Option: 4th- and 5th-axis rotary positioning ► Rotary Milling Option: Simultaneous rotary milling, supporting flat or radial geometry ► TMS Option: (Tombstone Management System) Multi-part layout and programming ■ for tombstone fixtures ► Solids Import Option: Import of solid model and then machine in wire-frame from extracted edges ► 2.5D Solids Option: Simple solid modeling and solid-based machining of 2-, 2.5-and simple3-axis partshapes ► SoIidSurfacer® Option: Advanced surface and solid modeling and 3-axis surface machining ► MTM"Option: (Multi-Task Machining) Turning with multiple spindles and tool groups and 3-axis milling (C-, Y- and B-axes per tool group with Mill option) ► Machine Simulation Option: Simulation of machine tool motion |
