Gibbs and Associates, the developer of GibbsCAM, has added a no-cost license of VoluMill WireFrame for GibbsCAM. This plug-in is a high speed machining program developed to calculate the highest material removal rates while extending tool life through smooth transitions and constant tool loading. Users of VoluMill have reported cycle time reductions as high as 70%, the company states.

VoluMill for GibbsCAM works on any combination of part and stock boundaries, supports an unlimited number of islands, walls, pocket depths and island heights. The software also includes:

  • A programmed rate of material removal to keep tool and work piece temperature consistent.
  • Automatic feed rate and depth of cut adjustment.
  • Contour ramping to maximize removal in tight areas.
  • Clean-up milling that allows smaller tools to remove leftover material.
  • High-speed repositioning with minimal clearance and no tool drag.
“Although we believe that our software already carries exceptional value, we are pleased to offer this incremental value to customers,” said Robb Weinstein, senior vice president of Sales and Strategic Planning at Gibbs and Associates. “They will achieve the greatest productivity possible in roughing parts, and quickly see how VoluMill’s ultra-high-speed machining, with its optimal material removal rates, translates into high-speed part production at lower cost through savings in time, tools, and machine maintenance.”
