This demo brilliantly showcases the impressive capabilities of GibbsCAM, highlighting its advanced machining strategies, user-friendly interface, and efficient toolpath generation that enhances both precision and productivity in CNC programming, and a big thanks to CAMCO team for uploading this informative video!
Thank you for your positive feedback! We appreciate it. We also have a full Mill Demo (2.5-5-axis) available. You can find it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZKFMb0HrNu8.htmlsi=I_2mDUZPU_fSPOoS
For those searching how to also flip a part that is rounded, especially in older versions of gibbs, you can use Modify> mirror and use z to mirror. I found this after forever being frustrated in Gibbs 2011. I'd love to hear of another way in Gibbs that is that old if anyone knows. Imagine you have a donut cut in half like a letter C ....That shape, if you import and you want the rad to be up like an upside down U. Always had a difficult time aligning with shapes like that. Thanks for the vid!!
This from our support team: Some processes let you do that, but not VoluMill. It only lets you pick a Start Side to hint what area you want it to start. It also needs to see a start point it likes in that area, or else it'll use whatever's closest. Some features will only have one possible start location, while others can have many, based on the shape. We hope that helps!
@@Kmachman72 When you install a new version, be sure to use the Migration Tool. It will install all your preferences. Check out this video at the timestamp 7:06 for step-by-step instructions. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J756RxEJ8tM.htmlsi=HeKs_WQJClgkK3Ys
Your videos are awesome! Super helpful because I've used Mastercam but just trying to familiarize myself with Gibbs for my job so I can start programming so thanks a bunch 🙏🏻

It depends on the GibbsCAM license you have, but the Profiler can create geometry from a facet body. It will still have the facets, but can be used as is, or modified after extracting the wireframe. I hope that helps!
The operation data can only be used to modify standard CRC and length offsets and does not include 3DCRC or tool posture settings. Your issue may need to be dealt with in the post processor. Please reach out to your reseller to see what your options are. Thanks for your comment!
Could you compare zoller TMS or even TDM systems to yours. There seems to be a lot of thing missing such as feed and speeds with machine dependance/spindle dependance, depending on m aterials, ... Is there any compatibility with standard tool info such as DIN4000/ISO13399 or gtc package ? Is there any tool library that you can import with tool manufacturers ? Is there any connectivity to machines and tool presetters ? Is there features such as where used : which programs shares the same tools, which assemblies shares the same components,...
Thanks for your questions. We'll take them one at a time below. Comparing Zoller TMS/TDM: Both of those are enterprise systems and are not GibbsCAM-centric, with a starting cost of over $40,000. ToolManageriQ is a GibbsCAM-centric standalone on-premise system with a cost of $3,000. As for speeds and feeds with machine dependence/spindle dependence: In upcoming version 3, we will support speeds and feeds. With ToolManageriQ grouping, you can manage machine dependence. Is there any compatibility with standard tool info such as DIN4000/ISO13399 or gtc package? This will be available soon. You can import tools from any manufacturer into GibbsCAM. Once there, we can import from GibbsCAM into ToolManageriQ. We will have a CSV import in the coming year. Is there any connectivity to machines and tool presenters? Not at this time. Are there features such as where used: which programs share the same tools, which assemblies share the same components? We are working on this we hope to have it out by the end of 2024. We hope this answers all your questions. If you'd like to know more, please give us at call at (607) 229-9046 or reach out on our website. camco-ne.com/
We suggest you contact your GibbsCAM reseller with help on your post processor. If you are a CAMCO customer, email us at support@camco-ne.com and we'll be happy to help.

Hi! GibbsCAM handles 2-5-axis milling, turning, multi-task machining, wire EDM, and probing. You can find out more on our website: camco-ne.com/. Let us know if we can help!
@@andrewward9670 This is not true. This has been a feature for as long as I can remember and I've been using GibbsCAM since 2012. There is a new way of axis limitation in 2023 called "work areas" in the DCD, but the way shown in the video has been there for many years and still works.
When installing, you have to make sure the "ProAXYZ" box is checked when it lists all the options. If it's not there, contact your reseller and make sure you have that option.
PMI is tolerances datum structures and surface finishes etc. PMI import is solely dependant on the CAD system you are using, if PMI is available it will be displayed in GibbsCAM. In other words your CAD author has to include PMI data in the CAD file.
I am a daily GibbsCam user since 2011. This video repeats the same things and doesn't go through everything involved in making a tool. yes, number of flutes, length, stick out, and all the basic stuff. You really should have shown how to create 2d and 3d tools, created custom tool holders using parametric, geometry or solid. These things would have been informative. But here we were stuck with a man who probably takes 3 days to make a program and thinks hand ground brazed carbide works better than quality tooling from reputable manufacturers. Do better Gibbs. Your reseller in Idaho is the absolute worst and we can't even get rid of him. You guys keep asking him how good he is doing and do not consider the fact that we are unsatisfied. I know that if my company wasn't so heavily invested in this software, we would use something with better support and training. esprit, mastercam, or NX would be nice. especially since the Siemens 840d sl post, mdd and machine sim cause crashes but we have to pay to get them fixed. it's a joke.
Thank you for your comment. This Tool Creation video is part of a specific playlist for how to create a GibbsCAM part program. The tools shown are specific to that tutorial part and are meant to be just an introduction, not a deep dive. We will make a note that you would like to see a video with more specifics on tool creation. Also, we are the GibbsCAM reseller for the Northeast, not GibbsCAM corporate, so any issues with them should be taken to the corporate office.
@@camcone When I talk to corporate they send me right back to the reseller though. Our reseller is powerless to corporate as well. Anyone looking for a good CAM system should run. Its falling further behind not getting better. Notice how everything is prebuilt. They didnt want to show the glitchy process that probably crashed twice changing the tooling. Also they don’t recommend multicore processors because they still live in 2006. Its a joke.
Love these tutorial videos. I hope there are more to come! Also, How do you add custom mill or lathe tool holders. Gibbs standard ones are pretty limited.
After watching this sales pitch, I must say how uninformed the presentation was. I've been using Gibbs for over 10 years. I am qualified to say, you were selling, not informing. You obviously have no clue how to cut 17-4. And you neglected to mention how you need to have the exact same tool to save a process. Have you heard of a job shop? I'll wait for your answer while the parts I programmed and set up, and inspected are on Mars.
Hi Andrew, you are correct in your assessment that this webinar was a technical sales presentation. In these webinars we give a broad overview of GibbsCAM’s capabilities, so that people understand the broad strokes of the product. It is technical, but is not meant in any way to be a training video and therefore doesn't cover things that we would cover in training, such as the need for the same tool in Saved Processes. Not everyone has the level of expertise that you have, and the presentation reflects that. We assume some viewers don’t currently use GibbsCAM and what we show is new to them. The presenter for this webinar is an extremely experienced machinist with decades of experience in both machining and GibbsCAM. Congratulations on having your parts on Mars! That’s amazing!
