GibbsCAM 2018 V13 version 12.8.11.0

Cimatron Limited, a leading provider of integrated CAD/CAM software solutions for the toolmaking and manufacturing industries, announced that it has released the newest version of GibbsCAM NC programming software, GibbsCAM 2018 V13 Closed Beta.

The main themes of this release are: Improved turning functionality (also affecting MTM and Mill/Turn); support for new tools and toolholders and a new set of processes (Broaching); improvements to 2D and 2½D Mill, and the addition of Op Tile Stacks

GibbsCAM 13 Closed Beta - What's new:

General Information

- GibbsCAM 13 supports all OS platforms supported by GibbsCAM 12 and adds no new OS platforms.
- GibbsCAM 13 supports a broad range of new tools and toolholders. These are described in detail.
- Data translators by Datakit are no longer supported. They have been replaced by the corresponding translators by Spatial (a unit of Dassault Systèmes, and developer of the 3D ACIS kernel). The Granite library is updated, and is used for PTC Creo Parametric only.
- GibbsCAM 13 product options 5-Axis, MultiBlade, and Port Machining are updated to use improved multi-axis technology libraries. Specific functional enhancements are detailed below.
- The Adveon Tool Library from Sandvik Coromant has been phased out by Sandvik and may be replaced by CoroPlus, which provides a superset of the same functionality

Functional Enhancements

Improved Workflow, Common Function, and GUI
- Operation Tile stacking. Allows operation tiles to be grouped together in a folder-like stack reducing clutter and increasing quick access.
- Broaching. A new set of processes and tools, documented in a new user guide.
- G-Code editor. Vastly improved over the old Post Editor, this new editor provides customizable color coding, cut/copy/paste/undo, multi-pane for subfiles and/or sync definitions for multi-flow, and many other function points.
- Status Bar extensions. The status bar (the bar below the workspace window) now provides more information.
- Data-driven VMMs. Starting in GibbsCAM 13, VMMs become easier to create and update. Using an *.xVMM file, Post developers and Resellers can define and modify VMM data without requiring changes in the core VMM itself.
Tooling and Toolholders
- ATC holder library.
- Parametric solid holders.
- Center Drilling. Now encompasses true Form B and Form R as well as Form A.
Turning and Mill
- Interpolation turning, eccentric turning, and elliptical turning. (These are sometimes also known as "C-axis turning" and "orbital turning".)
- Chip breaker cycle for roughing
- Automatic bar chamfering.
- Advanced approach/retract. You can now define a custom path along which tools can approach or retract.
- Inside milling (with custom approach/retract)
- Face milling improvements: Roll-in entry, round corners, cut above stock, increased shape capabilities, and fixture avoidance.
5-Axis
- 3D CRC.
Updated multi-axis libraries.
