GibbsCAM to Showcase GibbsCAM 2023’s Newest Features at IMTS
GibbsCAM software programs, simulates, and controls any CNC machine—from 2D to 5-axis milling, turning, multi-task machining (MTM), and wire-EDM.

GibbsCAM will showcase its latest Simply Powerful CAM software at the Chicago IMTS 2022 in September. GibbsCAM product experts will be in booth #338880 to explain powerful new features of version 2023 release just weeks after the show.
GibbsCAM Vice President Nick Spurrett asserts, “We are truly excited to showcase our latest GibbsCAM release. It is packed with features and receiving really positive reviews from customers.”
Cylindrical milling in GibbsCAM 2023 is easier with direct selection of a “Slice” in the CS depth axis — select a closed profile to machine a cylindrical boss or pocket, or select two loops to machine a groove or ring. New Spiral Boring cuts a spiral out to the full diameter at each Z step, which increases cutting feed rate and depth due to a more consistent tool load.
PrimeTurningTM high performance turning strategy for Sandvik Coromant and CoroTurn Prime Type A and Type B inserts allow optimum feed rate adjustment for gentle and accurate cutting in either direction. A new tool type, Multifunction Insert Drill, has been added as a periphery insert that can seamlessly switch between turning, lathe drilling, and mill drilling without retraction or tool change motions.
GibbsCAM GO Turning can now specify Rake and Back Relief for tool inserts to more accurately define the 3D geometry of the tool inserts. A new option for Lathe Drilling with counter-rotating tools commands the live tooling spindle to turn in the opposite direction at a specified RPM to increase spindle speed and material removal rates.
The Elliptical Contour process may now be used elliptical bores inside of solid parts. Thread Turning operations are expanded with Face Threading, Variable Pitch Threading, Multi-pitch, and Position Tool Front options.
Organizing parts is easier than ever to match the way you work. The ability to earmark parts by work group or coordinate system, create operation groups, and specify active and inactive operations, helps users to track part information throughout the CAM process.
GibbsCAM will exhibit alongside Cimatron in the Machinery Hall booth #338880 as key partners in the Sandvik Design and Planning Automation division. GibbsCAM VP Spurrett confirms, “Sandvik’s investment in this business segment represents a commitment toward a greater total solution for manufacturers.”
GibbsCAM software programs, simulates, and controls any CNC machine—from 2D to 5-axis milling, turning, multi-task machining (MTM), and wire-EDM. Additionally, GibbsCAM in-process probing reduces handling for total accuracy, and a comprehensive CNC solution.
