GibbsCAM Multi-Axis Milling Options
As a modular suite of CNC programming tools, GibbsCAM has a solution for
every milling requirement. When you need to move beyond 3-axis milling
into rotary milling of any type, there is a GibbsCAM option to accommodate
your requirements with speed and efficiency. Each GibbsCAM option has a
different range of capabilities, different input requirements, and different
toolpath capabilities. Selecting the best option(s) for a specific part and
machine will yield the best results. All of GibbsCAM’s rotary milling options are
supported by a huge library of post processors and a staff dedicated to building
and maintaining post processors.
5-AXIS MILLING achieves 5-axis motion
with 2 rotary and 3 linear axes. It provides
powerful programming tools to meet all the
challenges of 3-, 4- and 5-axis simultaneous
machining, without sacrificing ease of use.
Input is a combination of 3D wireframe
geometry, solids and surfaces. GibbsCAM’s
