GibbsCAM 2023
The new versions of GibbsCAM® and ProAXYZ™ are available now!
The following are some of the new features available in GibbsCAM® 2023:
Interface
GibbsCAM® 2023 improves interface management by combining a better organisation of machining elements, coordinate systems and the operations manager.
Simulation performance has also been greatly improved with the activation/deactivation of operations and the simulation of selected operations with the immediate calculation of the machined material. In addition, new features such as transparent clamping or maximum rotation speed detection provide a clearer representation of the simulation and improved collision event control.
Multi-origin management via coordinate system and work zones by operation enable better ISO code management
Milling
In addition to milling cylindrical profiles, GibbsCAM® 2023 incorporates new capabilities, such as pocket machining to avoid plunging into cavities. Spiral boring and extended drill cycles have also been added.
Turning
Turning tool management allows more precise positioning of the insert on the holder for better visualisation during simulation. Other highlights include cutting load variation in standard turning cycles and chip thickness control in VoluTurn cycles.
5-axis
Improvements to the 5-axis module include custom approaches and retracts, surface-based machining along the U and V axes and improved chamfering cycles.
