United States: Partnership Will Integrate GibbsCAM with VoluMill.


Byline: Mamta03

 in full computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing.

Integration of design and manufacturing into a system under direct control of digital computers.
 software developer Gibbs and Associates has agreed to collaborate with Celeritive Technologies to incorporate the latter s VoluMill software as an integrated option for the GibbsCAM product line. In its statement, Gibbs said the partnership will provide a seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation.  between GibbsCAM and VoluMill s ultra-high performance toolpath engine.

 machining industry s need for CAM software that adjusts to technology advances that allow increased speed-to-feed ratios, to optimize optimize - optimisation  cycle times and tool life.

Integrated with GibbsCAM, VoluMill will build toolpaths that optimally control tool cutting factors, to expand milling options. The software automatically identifies the best option for milling pockets, including the speed of a tool plunging into the material and material-removal rates. Variation in tool load is reduced, it says, so that the machine is able to operate at higher speed and feed rates.

Currently, GibbsCAM offerings support 2- through 5-axis milling, turning, mill/turning, multi-task simultaneous machining, and wire-EDM. GibbsCAM also provides integrated manufacturing modeling capabilities that include 2D, 2.5D, 3D wireframe An umbrella term for a general outline of some structure. For example, the rough design of Web pages may be called wireframes. See wireframe modeling. , surface, and solid modeling.

One challenge of CNC machining is how to cut a part faster, according to founder and president Bill Gibbs. CAM software plays a key role in the production of part programs that can cut parts faster. In addition, the company believes that VoluMill s capabilities with provide GibbsCAM with a high-performance solution to optimize run cycle times.
