GibbsCAM 2015 v11.0.11.0 GibbsCAM 2015 introduces its new engine, the Universal Kinematic Machine (UKM), while maintaining the ease of use for which GibbsCAM is known. GibbsCAM UKM was developed to further simplify programming, provide the flexibility to easily support the most advanced machines and accurately simulate all of the machine components and capabilities of any machine. Driven by UKM, GibbsCAM supports most machine configurations available today ,and even machines that haven’t been invented yet. GibbsCAM 2015, with GibbsCAM UKM ,provides the most accurate and complete rendering and machine simulation available simplifies programming of complex machines, and enables system-wide performance .improvements Redesigned DCD (Document Control Dialog) with « context-dependent tab sets User Colors editable by selection, RGB key-in or « color palette loading Workgroup Type (wrapped/not wrapped part « geometry, extruded or revolved part stock) is now shown in the Workgroup list Reporter can now write directly to *xlsx files « without having to use Microsoft Excel New Pack and Go feature allows for easy and « complete sharing of parts and setups through automatic creation of a package file containing the GibbsCAM part and all associated files necessary for that part to execute properly on a different computer GENERAL SYSTEM / INTERFACE IMPROVEMENTS PRODUCTION MILL AND LATHE New Contour Trace function allows for creating a « machinable contour from a chain of intersecting lines and circles Modify spline curves with the new Edit Spline « function by dragging knots and control points TOOLING Redesigned Tool dialog, including new icons and « dynamic 3D viewing of tools and tool holders ,New mill tool types: Barrel, Dovetail, Convex Tip « (3D form tools (solid models & New lathe tools: 75° Diamond (ISO E-style) & 3D « (form tools (solid models Straight, tapered and stepped shanks are now « supported for all mill tools *ADVEON TOOL LIBRARY « Integration with Sandvik Coromant’s Adveon Tool Library enables importing cutting tools from Sandvik and any other ISO 13399 compliant systems ,Makes a standard library, with latest tool data always available Simplifies managing tool data Only Milling tools will be supported for initial GibbsCAM 2015 release* Allows building, saving and reusing a tool library for the shop Enables linking tools and tool assemblies to parts, for use and reuse HOLES Helix Bore plug-in functions now integrated with « the Holes process Enhancements to Helix Bore and Mill Bore functions « VOLUMILL Pre-drilling is now supported « New back-and-forth strategy « Toolpath can now be processed in backgrounds « Ability to specify minimum feedrate « Collision avoidance with tool holders and tool shanks « 2.5D SOLIDS HOLES Improvements to Hole Manager « Hole Feature enhancements in holes process dialog « Enhanced support for compound holes with « multiple straight/tapered/threaded segments Helix Bore plug-in functions are now integrated « with the Holes process
