GibbsCAM Production Systems: Milling, Turning, and Mill-Turn GibbsCAM simplifies the complex, with the power to meet the challenges of the most demanding shop. GibbsCAM Production Milling and Production Turning provide a reliable foundation for general machining and a solid platform for growth. Production Milling supports 2-axis, 2.5-axis, and 3-axis wireframe machining, with 4th axis positioning. Production Turning supports full 2-axis wireframe machining. By combining them, you gain mill-turn function with live tooling. System-Wide Capabilities A friendly user interface with intuitive icons makes navigation fast and programming easy. Users get up to speed quickly, making CNC programming and machining efficient and productive. You will achieve faster programming, faster machining, and more parts out the door, all while increasing capability and reducing programming costs. Unique Graphical Interface: • Designed for machinists, with shop-familiar terminology • Graphic icons that make sense to machinists • Modeless access to allow moving between functions without stepping through multiple menus. Jump from toolpath verification to part design to tool definition and back any time • Consistent across the product line, so all modules look and feel the

System-Wide Capabilities Tool Visualization: Visualize tools, tool holders, and tool blocks as they are actually situated and oriented in tool groups such as turrets and gangs, all with full pan, rotate and zoom Flexibility: Choose from multiple machining styles best suited to your machining requirements Associativity: GibbsCAM creates and maintains relationships between geometry, cutting tools, machining process and toolpath, to automatically update related components when a change is made. Post Processors: Available from the huge factorymaintained library of thousands of post processors,...

CNC Programming and Machining GibbsCAM provides many options for generating toolpath. To maximize programming and machining efficiency, it maintains relationships between tools, parts, features and toolpath strategies. Even so, its many automation tools never force the user into default processes. You can realize all the productivity your machines can deliver, because GibbsCAM provides the flexibility to let you program in styles best suited for the part, designated machine, or shop practices. Production Milling Production Milling gives you 2-axis, 2.5-axis and 3-axis machining with simple...

Production Turning Production Turning supports full 2-axis wireframe machining, with graphic tool definition and tools that simplify and automate lathe programming, all to make your lathes and turning centers as efficient as possible. • Advanced roughing routines - Roughing cycles for plunge roughing - Automatic shoulder stroking - Pattern shift roughing with constant path and constant step-over options Mill-Turn Machining By combining Production Milling and Production Turning, you gain mill-turn capability, with support for X, Y, Z linear axes plus a C or B rotary axis. Fast parametric...

Extend your Capabilities As your shop grows, or replaces machinery, GibbsCAM helps you grow. Multiple options integrate with the same familiar, intuitive interface allowing you to continue to program any part for efficient machining on any machine. • 2.5D Solids: Simple solid modeling and solids-based machining of 2-, 2.5- and simple 3-axis parts • SolidSurfacer (3D Milling): Advanced surface and solid modeling plus 3-axis surface machining • Polar & Cylindrical Milling: Drive one rotary and two linear axes on machines with a rotary axis • Radial Milling: Drive one rotary and three linear...
