GibbsCAM Automation with SOLIDWORKS Models Featured at SOLIDWORKS World 2014
MOORPARK, California, January 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Cimatron Limited [http://www.cimatron.com ] (NASDAQ: CIMT), a leading provider of
integrated CAD/CAM software solutions for the toolmaking and manufacturing industries,
announced today that its GibbsCAM [http://www.gibbscam.com ](R) software will be
demonstrated at the Dassault Systemes' SOLIDWORKS World 2014 Conference. Cimatron's
subsidiary, Gibbs and Associates, has also been selected to give a presentation called
"Productivity and Efficiency in Machining SOLIDWORKS Features," using GibbsCAM, a
SOLIDWORKS(R) certified CAM product that provides seamless integration with SOLIDWORKS.
The brief presentation will be delivered by Steve Aughinbaugh, GibbsCAM applications
engineer, from 6:30PM-6:45PM, Monday, January 27, 2014. Mr. Aughinbaugh will highlight
GibbsCAM's optimal integration between SOLIDWORKS and GibbsCAM, focusing on the greatest
simplification of 3D solids machining available for SOLIDWORKS. He will demonstrate how
GibbsCAM uses Knowledge Based Machining to automatically read SOLIDWORKS part features and
machine them with a single mouse click. In addition to the presentation, GibbsCAM
demonstrations will be available in Booth 629 of the Partner Pavilion. The conference is
being held from January 26-29, 2014, at the San Diego Convention Center, in San Diego,
California.
Mr. Aughinbaugh's presentation will be centered on GibbsCAM's Feature Manager, which
reads and preserves features from SOLIDWORKS files, and enables the NC programmer to read
features from the SOLIDWORKS Feature Tree, such as extrusions, patterns, and revolved
features, then easily identify and select areas for machining and apply machining
processes required to make the part. Perhaps of greatest benefit to users is GibbsCAM's
unique ability to handle the inevitable engineering change order that requires modifying a
part. When an updated part file is transferred into GibbsCAM, it automatically identifies
changed features and updates all machining processes with one or two clicks of the mouse.
The result is faster programming and more accurate parts produced more quickly. GibbsCAM's
unique user interface, which is easy to learn, provides SOLIDWORKS users additional
productivity with the speed its ease of use enables for every job.
For the demonstration, Mr. Aughinbaugh will open a SOLIDWORKS part with pockets and
other features, load the part into GibbsCAM and machine it, demonstrating the ease, speed
and efficiency of reading and programming features from the Feature Tree. To demonstrate
how GibbsCAM saves valuable time with an updated part, he will show how GibbsCAM reads the
revised part, automatically recognizes changes, updates the machining processes and
generates a new NC program. Attendees will immediately recognize the value of this dynamic
integration between SOLIDWORKS and GibbsCAM in family-of-parts programming and in
providing quick response to engineering change orders.
Other great time savers for SOLIDWORKS users are GibbsCAM's Automatic Feature
Recognition (AFR) and its Hole Manager, which integrates with the SOLIDWORKS Hole Wizard
to automatically read, recognize, and machine holes. Hole Manager reads all attributes
applied to holes created by the SOLIDWORKS Hole Wizard, and automatically generates tool
lists and processes right down to the finished operations. GibbsCAM also preserves colors
applied to SOLIDWORKS models. Since colors applied in the design process often convey
information about manufacturing processes, preserving these colors improves communication
between design and manufacturing, reducing errors and speeding up programming time. In
combination with Feature Manager's reading of solid features from the Feature Tree,
GibbsCAM AFR and Hole Manager greatly simplify solids machining and provide huge time
savings for the SOLIDWORKS user.
The combination of GibbsCAM 2014 and SOLIDWORKS 2014 provides a complete CAD/CAM
solution for most manufacturing environments. Whether parts have simple geometry needing
only 2.5-axis milling or 2-axis turning, or complex geometry requiring use of 5-axis
machining, MTM or Swiss-style turning centers, the SOLIDWORKS-GibbsCAM combination
accommodates and optimizes the machining process. GibbsCAM verifies the toolpaths with
gouge detection and interference checking, then dynamically and visually simulates them on
virtual machine tools, and accurately post-processes them to generate optimal NC programs.
GibbsCAM features help users eliminate scrap, reduce cycle times, and maximize efficiency,
safety and profits.
