GibbsCAM 5-Axis offers full 5-axis milling functionality

GibbsCAM 5-Axis extends GibbsCAM’s existing machining capability and provides the user with a complete range of 5-axis milling functionality. The new 5-Axis module introduces the following capabilities: * Multi-surface 5-axis roughing and finishing. * Multi-surface 5-axis flowline machining. * Surface edge 5-axis swarf cutting (trimming vacuum-formed parts) * Adaptable interface, based on part type strategy, shows only what is needed * Advanced gouge checking ensures safe cuts in even the most complex operations. * Complete control over entry/exit, cut-to-cut, and between cut moves. * 5-axis depth cuts machining. “5-axis technology provides the user with the ultimate amount of control when applying tooling to a part,” explains Bill Gibbs, founder and president of Gibbs and Associates. “Because of this, collision avoidance, improved surface finish, and reduced tool wear are some of the numerous benefits realized. With the new 5-Axis module, GibbsCAM users will not only be able to machine parts they couldn’t before, but may even be able to improve the machining of parts they could.”
