GibbsCAM CNC Programming Automation at SolidWorks World 2015

Moorpark, California – Gibbs and Associates, developer of GibbsCAM software for programming CNC machine tools and a Cimatron company, will participate at the SolidWorks World 2015 Conference with a presentation and booth demonstrations of GibbsCAM software’s optimization for machining parts designed in SolidWorks. GibbsCAM is a SolidWorks Certified CAM Product that provides seamless integration with SolidWorks. Gibbs was selected to give a presentation called “Manufacturing Complex Solid Models with GibbsCAM,” to be delivered by Steve Aughinbaugh, a GibbsCAM applications engineer, on Monday, Feb. 9, 2015 from 6:45pm-7:00pm. 

 

The presentation will highlight GibbsCAM’s integration with SolidWorks, and demonstrate the use of automation features of both products to read a complex part from SolidWorks and program it for machining with GibbsCAM. Aughinbaugh will demonstrate the ease of programming turning, milling, mill-turning, and drilling operations on a multi-task machine, and finish with full simulation of the machining process. In addition to the presentation, GibbsCAM demonstrations will be available in Booth 525 of the Partner Pavilion. The conference runs from Feb. 8-11, 2015 at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona.

 

Aughinbaugh’s presentation will be centered on GibbsCAM’s MTM and Machine Simulation for programming, simulating and verifying multi-task machining (MTM) operations in making parts designed in SolidWorks. He will demonstrate how GibbsCAM directly reads SolidWorks part models, preserving features and attributes, and use these to identify, organize, and select features for machining.
