3D Systems is releasing GibbsCAM® 2016 software for increased efficiency, accelerated programming speed, and enhanced visualization and accuracy for CNC machine programming.
New features and functions are enhanced thread milling, including support for multipoint tools, tapered threads for both single and multipoint tools, and improved simulation.
In addition, the latest VoluMill™ technology provides new toolpath strategies to optimize the high-speed roughing of large pockets and slots, open face milling strategies that can decrease cutting time by up to 60 per cent, and the Technology Expert, which optimizes speeds and feeds.
Added toolpath strategies for 5-axis milling enable programmers to define toolpath direction using the natural flow of a surface with the new Flowline option, toolpaths with extended width and length, improved 5-axis drilling, multistepped pocket roughing, and new gouge checking strategies.
