GibbsCAM 5-Axis MultiBlade module is optimized for programming machining centers and multi-tasking machines (MTMs) to make turbomachinery blade parts such as blisks, blings and impellers. The specialized and condensed interface allows easy selection of geometry without having to prepare the model.
Toolpath strategies include 5-axis simultaneous roughing, hub finishing, and blade and splitter finishing, with automatic gouge checking on all toolpaths. The interface offers intelligent controls for rotating toolpaths around the part as well as fillet machining, and all toolpath strategies.
