Hi Krusty Krab,
I cannot give an unbiased reply about GibbsCAM as I have been using GibbsCAM products since 1988. I can tell you that I build a lot of permanent molds with core boxes, core boxes with cope and drag sections. Some of the molds have a part B/P available, some do not. I digitize where I can. I build the finished casting or finished core in Gibbs and can control the shrinkage ratio according to the material cast. Gibbs has a parting line tool that is a great help. Creating a 3D tool path is easy in Gibbs. I use Fadals and they handle the mass of code with no problem. I cannot compare Gibbs to any other systems as I quit looking in 1988. |
