Why GibbsCAM?-1

POWERFUL. EASY. FLEXIBLE. PRODUCTIVE. GibbsCAM has the power and flexibility to let you make parts the way you want. With its shopfriendly interface that is easy to navigate, you’ll maximize productivity. Whether CNC programmer, machinist or manufacturing engineer, the user will find familiar terminology. Icons will make sense. Processes will be logical. With GibbsCAM, CNC programming is flexible, fast, reliable, and efficient. Seamless Integration with Any CAD System Whatever CAD format your customers, designers or engineers prefer to use, that’s the format that GibbsCAM will read or open directly and accurately, so you can quickly modify part models for machinability. Ten Reasons GibbsCAM Should Be Your CNC Programming System: 1. Mill, Drill, Turn, Burn—GibbsCAM Does it All GibbsCAM programs any CNC milling, turning, mill-turn or wire EDM machine. From 2-axis turning and 2.5 axis milling, to 3-, 4- and 5-axis simultaneous and the most complex multi-spindle, multi-turret, multi-tasking and Swiss-style MTM machines, GibbsCAM drives them all. Programmers Get Up to Speed Fast The interface icons are easily understood, and the menu structure is flat, so programmers don’t have to step through menu after menu to get something done. It enables quick navigation and fast programming for experienced programmers and rapid learning for new programmers. SOLID MODELING Accurate, Flexible and Reliable Toolpath Creation Reads, translates, creates, modifies and machines part features with precision. Provides multiple ways to drive cutting tools, including high-speed machining strategies, so parts can be programmed and machined your way. Saves tools and processes so you can quickly program a family of parts or react to engineering without having to reprogram the entire part.
