When you need to move beyond 3-axis milling into rotary milling of any type, there is a GibbsCAM option to accommodate your requirements with speed and efficiency. Each GibbsCAM option has a different range of capabilities, different input requirements, and different toolpath capabilities. Selecting the best option(s) for a specific part and machine will yield the best results. All of GibbsCAM’s rotary milling options are supported by a huge library of post processors and a staff dedicated to building and maintaining post processors. 5-AXIS MILLING achieves 5-axis motion with 2 rotary and 3 linear axes. It provides powerful programming tools to meet all the challenges of 3-, 4- and 5-axis simultaneous machining, without sacrificing ease of use. Input is a combination of 3D wireframe geometry, solids and surfaces. GibbsCAM’s geometry creation and editing tools accommodate any modeling or editing required to and workholding devices, and automatically prepare a part model for machining. A robust corrects the toolpath according to user set of multi-surface strategies supports specified parameters. A sophisticated machining a full range of uniquely shaped and powerful programming tool for any parts directly from the model’s surfaces. 5-axis programmer, this option is ideal The user has full control of tool axis tilt. for 5-axis simultaneous capable mills, Comprehensive collision control checks mill-turns and MTM machines, and also a the tool and holder for collisions with the part very good solution for 4-axis

when working directly from solids and surfaces. The integration of 5-Axis Milling with GibbsCAM MTM options supports the most advanced multi-task machines with live tooling on articulated heads. With its breadth of capability and ease of use, GibbsCAM 5-Axis Milling will simplify your 5-axis programming needs and improve machining efficiency with better surface finish and faster throughput. 5-AXIS PORTING is an addition to the 5-Axis Milling option, optimized for machining engine ports, manifolds, throttle bodies, and parts with similar internal geometry. The GibbsCAM 5-Axis Porting option...

5-AXIS MULTIBLADE LEVEL 2 provides incremental capabilities to 5-Axis MultiBlade Level 1 to machine parts that have multiple splitters and/or sub-splitters. It adds a fillet machining strategy and provides additional control for all toolpath strategies.

Polar & Cylindrical Milling Radial Milling Geometry definition 2D planar wireframe geometry and wrapped geometry. 3D geometry can be converted to wrapped geometry. 3D wireframe geometry extracted from solids or otherwise created, and optional surfaces. Wrapped geometry is not supported. Solids, surfaces and 3D curve geometry, depending on specific task. Part compatibility Ideal for parts defined by flat geometry, parts with repeated patterns, and parts with tool centerline grooves. No wall control. Ideal for parts defined by 3D geometry, and parts with radially prismatic features. Ideal for...
