I've ran mastercam for almost 10 yrs; made a lot of parts for the aerospace industry using Mcam. I have recently started a job at a company that uses Gibbs and can not find anyone that can explain how to make decent tool path on it.
It seams that you can not easily control the surfacing functions at all. You just have to try a thousand different thing to get a result the is close to correct. It jumps all over the part, has 500 retracts, cut tons of air, etc.
I also cannot seam to figure out how to pocket with out using the full width of the end mill.
I have searched for training material but it appears Gibbs doesn't offer much in that area.
Does anyone know of any train material that cover complicated surfacing functions in Gibbs?
I can make mastercam do what I want the first time every time. I have a hard time believing that Gibbs is that inferior when it comes to surfacing. Any advise would help.
