KeyCreator and GibbsCAM Integration Prompts Interface

By DE Editors

Gibbs and Associates (Moorpark, CA) and Kubotek USA (Marlborough, MA) have teamed up to develop integrations linking Kubotek’s KeyCreator software with GibbsCAM.

A newly developed one-button interface allows models to be sent directly to GibbsCAM from within a KeyCreator session; plus, GibbsCAM can now directly read models from the KeyCreator CKD file format.

Since KeyCreator’s inception, Kubotek USA has maintained a primary focus of empowering manufacturers with innovative tools and processes allowing them to be more productive and efficient in the manufacturing environment. This complements Gibbs’ focus on GibbsCAM’s industry leading of ease-of-use and learning.

With such an exchange, able to handle data from any source, and model editing technologies, the power of 3D solid modeling combined with surfacing, drafting, and layout capabilities enables KeyCreator to support the full art-to-part process. In-process shapes and any geometry needed to support CAM can be sent to GibbsCAM.
