The possibility of simulation of various machining processes and specifying various parameters to them for observing changes is widely possible.

What do you like best about GibbsCAM?

It's very attractive to do everything on one screen. Whatever your system is, you can sketch, design and mill / turn. It's so simple to use this program. You will probably find both language tutorials. We are also very helpful if you can't find the answer, you can call them unhindered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GibbsCAM?

GibbsCAM has no so well written documentation. There was no undo button in my version. But they were fixed, I heard. You have to improve your user interface. It's cool, but it makes animaton run slower when you try to add a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GibbsCAM:

Do not hesitate to take advantage of it. They develop themselves. They are developing. If you have any idea to improve the program, you can contact them. They're listening, they're listening. This makes your business much more valuable. When I was using that program, I was very happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GibbsCAM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Gibbscam helps solve problems and makes the right cycles. Gibbscam Complete surface friction and editing is simple for me. He tried to compare the one quickly. GibbsCAM or SolidCAM. GibbsCAM wins for the time being. Perhaps better SolidCAM users would draw and speed up the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GibbsCAM?

Simple interface, easy to understand the functions without taking any courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GibbsCAM?

Lagging during testing of Cam programs and sometimes acting "not-smart" lacking to understand what really is wanted. Some smart guessing functions can be considered especially for machining simple surfaces. We have to always be alert against "tool hitting" during entry or exit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GibbsCAM:

Especially for 3axis machining of simple parts, if this is covering 90% of your machining works, Gibbs is the best available easy understandable and adaptable program. Once you get the logic of using it, its really quick and fast to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GibbsCAM solving and how is that benefiting you?

I don't need a dwg format or a drawing program first create a 3d drawing then to transfer to GibbsCAM. I can directly draw and machine in one single program. Mostly machining simple 3d parts with 3axis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GibbsCAM?

The ability to quickly and easily modify programs makes a software great. When topic comes to being fast, no one could be better than GibbsCAM. You will draw, model and program your part in minutes. It's so easy. It also has so many users so that means free tutorial and helps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GibbsCAM?

They need to improve, actually they need to change whole of UI. Old design reminds me Windows 2000, new design imitates FeatureCAM, SolidCAM etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GibbsCAM:

You can't find a better alternative than GibbsCAM if you finish your products quickly. It's user friendly, easy to use, if you used different products you don't even need to try to learn it because UI is almost same as other programs. It's also cheap so it could be one of the best price/performance product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GibbsCAM solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used 5 different programs in same part in a CNC Programming lesson at university. I was the user of GibbsCAM. We were trying to find "Who will finish quickly in right way." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GibbsCAM?

Doing everything in one screen is much attractive. You can draw, model and do milling/turning etc whatever your process is. Using this program is so simple. Probably you will find tutorials every language. Also their support is great if you can't find the solution you can call them without hesitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GibbsCAM?

UI needs to be improved. It is really nice but trying to add so many things makes animaton runs slower. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering GibbsCAM:

It's a price/performance product and as much as researched I've found that GibbsCAM improves themselves more than one step for his last step. They're jumping. If you need to make your process faster you should try this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GibbsCAM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tried to compare which one is fast. SolidCAM or GibbsCAM. For now GibbsCAM wins. ( Maybe better user of SolidCAM would draw and make process faster ) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GibbsCAM?

Program is super fast. Problem is "how?" because animations are so smooth and detailed. Probably the best program for 5-axis machining. It's so easy to use.

What do you dislike about GibbsCAM?

GibbsCAM doesn't have a documentation which written so well. In the version of mine doesn't had an undo button. But I heard that they've fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
