This unique course provides a one-of-a-kind curriculum that unlocks the skills, techniques, and strategies to tackle the most complex programming jobs. By the end of this course, you’ll possess a powerful skill set for programming and machining complex parts with confidence.

Our live online format delivers a true classroom-style experience, with full two-way screen sharing between students and instructors. You can ask questions, get instant feedback, and follow along step-by-step—all from anywhere, whether you’re at the shop or learning from home.

Prerequisites

We recommend completing the GibbsCAM Essentials and Advanced Concepts classes before moving on to the 4- and 5-Axis Machining course. However, depending on your experience with GibbsCAM, you may already have the foundational knowledge required for success. If you find this course too advanced, consider revisiting the GibbsCAM Essentials or Advanced Concepts classes to build the programming skills essential for mastering multi-axis machining.

Please reach out to us at info@camco-ne.com for help finding the right class for you.

Topics Covered Include

Understand the Surface strategies for full 5 axis simultaneous machining.
Lock one or two rotary axis for effective 3 or 4 axis machining.
Master the Tool Axis Control tab to add lead/tilt angles on the tool for better material removal.
Add Gouge checking to your strategies to adjust the toolpath to avoid collisions.
Understand the Links tab for controlling important components of the toolpath.
Program 5 axis toolpaths using tapered barrel/conical tools.
Drill holes at multiple angles easily using 5AS drilling and the Hole Manager.
Use 4AS roughing strategies. Compare it with Rotary Rough and VoluMill wireframe.
Side mill features using Swarf milling.
Simplify edge breaking using the 5-axis deburring strategy. It works well in 3 and 4 axis too.
Use Multi-axis Machining to rough with Adaptive machining ability.
Rough and finish a port feature using the Porting strategy.
Create toolpaths using Geodesic Machining, Triangle Mesh, Wireframe and others.
Control the feed rates within an operation in the Utility tab using feed zones.
Optimize machining tolerances to create precise and efficient toolpaths.
Use the GeoEdit tools for editing bspline geometry.
Use Surface and Solid modelling to modify models for easier machining.
