GibbsCAM 2016 v11.3.37.0 GibbsCAM 2016 continues to build on the power of the revolutionary UKM technology introduced in GibbsCAM 2015. Its powerful suite of enhancements gives users the flexibility they want along with the control they need. Improvements, which range from milling and turning functionality, to 5-axis milling and multi-axis turning deliver increased efficiency, programming speed, visualization and accuracy. MILLING THREAD MILLING GibbsCAM 2016 | Thread Milling Full Profile Threadmill is a new tool type that allows for multiple teeth and provides support for threadforms and tapered-angle tools Support for tapered threads using single and multi-point thread tools (including NPT and BSPT types) Allows for multiple passes and spring passes providing optimal thread finish Depth of thread-milled holes is associated with hole geometry definition Hole processes now include drilling and threading routines that can be combined into a single process list Improved visualization when creating both custom and standard thread cutting tools Thread Milling MULTIPLE CONTOUR CONTROL GibbsCAM 2016 | Multiple Contour Control Select multiple contours for a single operation Define cutting side and direction for individual contours in a group VOLUMILL (WIREFRAME AND SOLIDS) GibbsCAM 2016 | VoluMill Newly integrated Technology Expert calculates optimal speeds and feeds for VoluMill toolpaths Automatic calculation of spiral toolpaths in large pockets Open face milling calculations reduce cutting time by up to 60% Optimized cutting motion in slots and corners further reduces cutting time and tool wear
