“We’ve used GibbsCAM success- fully for many years and have always liked its ease of use and powerful features. Adding Volumill to Gibbs raised our productivity to a whole new level. We are genuinely reducing our roughing cycle times by 50% or better regardless of material type or machine model. It has also helped lower our programming time. This product really performs as advertised and pays for itself quickly!”

VoluMill Universal™ is a stand-alone, ultra high- performance toolpath engine from Celeritive Technologies that can be used with any type of CAM system. VoluMill high- speed toolpaths are cutting cycle times by up to 80 percent while doubling and even quadrupling tool life in some cases. VoluMill Universal is a full-featured, 2- and 3-axis toolpath engine

for any geometric configuration, including open shapes and islands. VoluMill Universal is a full-featured, 2- and 3-axis toolpath engine for any geometric configuration, including open shapes and islands. Part geometry is received from any CAM system in popular neutral formats, such as DXF, IGES, and STEP. A dialog accepts the input parameters for the toolpath, and the output is in the form of G-code from integrated post processing — or CL data. The viewing and manipulation functions included are second nature to NC programmers, so ultra high-performance toolpaths can be generated within minutes of installing the software.
