Recently Released CAM Software Featured
August 1, 2016
GibbsCAM 2016, highlighted at IMTS, includes new Oriented Turning capabilities to program complex MTM machines that utilize redundant axis for turning definition.
3D Systems, developer of GibbsCAM software for programming CNC machine tools, has announced that it will be demonstrating the next generation of its Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software, GibbsCAM 2016, at IMTS 2016.
Building on its UKM (Universal Kinematic Machine) technology, GibbsCAM 2016 delivers increased efficiency, accelerated programming speed and enhanced visualization and accuracy for CNC machine programming.
New features and functions for GibbsCAM 2016 highlighted at IMTS include:
- Enhanced thread milling, including support for multi-point tools, tapered threads for both single- and multi-point tools and improved simulation
- The latest VoluMill technology, providing new toolpath strategies to optimize high speed roughing of large pockets and slots, open face milling strategies that can decrease cutting time by up to 60% and Technology Expert integration for ready access to optimal speeds and feeds
- New Oriented Turning capabilities, giving users added control in how tools interact with parts. From using a single tool at multiple B orientations to reorienting tool groups for use on a different spindle to full support of Flash Tooling for multiple-orientation turning tools
- Added toolpath strategies for 5-axis milling, enabling users to define toolpath direction using the natural flow of a surface with the new Flowline option, toolpaths with extended width and length, improved 5-axis drilling, multi-stepped pocket roughing and new gouge checking strategies.
