GIBBSCAM AWARDED "CERTIFIED

GIBBS AND ASSOCIATES, DEVELOPER OF GIBBSCAM SOFTWARE for programming CNC machine tools, announced that UGS has approved GibbsCAM as a "Certified Select Product" for Solid Edge. The certification process, which is part of the Solid Edge Voyager Partner Program, required completing extensive test procedures using Solid Edge Version 19. The tests, performed rigorously, exercised the integration between Solid Edge and GibbsCAM, ensuring a continued high-level of interoperability between the latest versions of the two applications.

Because GibbsCAM and Solid Edge are both based on the Parasolid modeling kernel, the need for data translation is eliminated and both systems evaluate the model exactly the same way, preventing geometric differences from being introduced. This ensures that the part geometry will be machined exactly as designed, resulting in the highest degree of accuracy in the finished product.

"Working directly with Solid Edge, we were able to maintain a high level of interoperability between our products," says Bill Gibbs, founder and president of Gibbs and Associates. "As a result, the Solid Edge/GibbsCAM combination continues to deliver incredible value and performance to customers, maximizing their productivity and efficiency."
