VoluMill for high speed rough machining available for latest GibbsCAM

Celeritive Technologies' VoluMill software for high speed rough machining is now available for GibbsCAM. VoluMill uses the Celeritive Ultra-High Performance Toolpath algorithm to generate toolpaths based upon desirable material removal rates.

Unlike traditional roughing-toolpath generators, which create parallel offsets optimised through stops, starts and variable speeds to reduce tool wear and excessive tool loading during sharp corners and transitions, VoluMill develops toolpaths optimised for volumetric material removal by using continuous tangential motion, specialised contour ramping and adaptive feedrates to achieve the highest feeds and speeds possible. By levelling tool load, maintaining constant machine-tool motion, and using high speed repositioning, the software significantly reduces cycle times. VoluMill is available immediately for the latest version of GibbsCAM.
