Gibbs and Associates, developer of GibbsCAM software for maximizing programming efficiency of CNC machine tools and a Cimatron company, announced on March 2,2010 that it will be demonstrating GibbsCAM 2010 during the WESTEC 2010 show at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California from March 23-25, 2010 in booth #2236. This new release includes multiple new features, additions, enhancements, and productivity tools.
These include more spiral machining options, new gouge check projection options, a new lead in/lead out "flip" option, a new axial shift damp option for trimming applications, and support for countersink and keyway cutters.
More specific additions are the following:
Geometry Creation - A Surface Tools plug-in has been added to create surfaces for repairing or improving machinability of surfaces from solids.
Adaptive Cuts - This new option enables regulating the distance between paths based upon the angle of the surface to be machined to provide a consistent surface finish, regardless of surface angle.
Impeller Roughing - Has been enhanced with functionality that covers more contingencies, especially useful when roughing near and around splitter blades.
Tool Retraction - A new option, Retract Through Tube Center, enables retracting cutting tools from angled pockets while avoiding walls, especially useful for machining cylinder head ports and similar geometry.
