MOORPARK, California,
November 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Cimatron Limited (NASDAQ and TASE: CIMT), a leading provider of
integrated CAD/CAM software solutions for the toolmaking and
manufacturing industries, today announced that Gibbs and
Associates, developer of GibbsCAM® software for
programming CNC machine tools and a Cimatron company, will
participate in four sessions within the manufacturing track at
Autodesk University 2012, where it will also have an exhibit.
Bill Gibbs, company founder and
president, will chair the panel discussion on the future of
CAD/CAM, and will be a member of two other panels, one discussing
integration and interoperability, and another on CAM selection
criteria and considerations. Mario
Guerrero, Gibbs' technical support manager and GibbsCAM
trainer, will conduct a hands-on demonstration of a GibbsCAM
workflow for making and programming parts for CNC machining. The
company will also exhibit its latest version of GibbsCAM, in Booth
435. Autodesk University 2012 will run from November 27-29, at Mandalay Bay, 3950 Las Vegas
Boulevard South, Las Vegas,
Nevada.
"We are pleased and excited to support Autodesk in its industry
education and forum for discussing topics important to business,
design, engineering and manufacturing," said Bill Gibbs. "Aside from helping manufacturers
plan for the future and make critical decisions today, Autodesk
University provides us a great opportunity to demonstrate GibbsCAM
interoperability with Inventor, and GibbsCAM's superiority in ease
of use, flexibility and efficiency in programming CNCs of all
types, even the most complex multi-axis, multi-task machines, using
models created with Autodesk Inventor."
Early this year, GibbsCAM was certified for Autodesk Inventor
2013, marking the twelfth consecutive year that the software has
been certified for Autodesk Inventor, and Gibbs and Associates
continues to be an authorized member of the Autodesk Developer
Network and an Autodesk Authorized Independent Software Vendor.
GibbsCAM offers seamless integration with Inventor, directly
reading Autodesk Inventor IPT (part model) files, preserving all
color information assigned within Inventor to provide continuity in
recognizing and communicating part and feature attributes.
GibbsCAM's full associativity of geometry, processes and
toolpaths easily accommodates updates to Autodesk Inventor part
geometry and process parameters. CNC programmers can quickly
optimize parts and define the process for machining the parts,
whether they have simple geometry needing only 2-axis turning or
2.5-axis milling, or complex geometry requiring the latest 5-axis
machining centers, multi-task machines or Swiss-style turning
centers. Once machining processes are defined in GibbsCAM, they are
automatically updated when the Inventor model is revised. GibbsCAM
also directly reads AutoCAD DXF and DWG files, enabling use of part
geometry to program machining processes.
