Sustainability

GibbsCAM can enhance sustainability in the manufacturing of parts by optimizing resource usage, reducing waste and energy consumption through highly-efficient and safe NC-toolpaths.

GibbsCAM minimizes downtime and extends the lifespan of machinery and cutting tools, thereby conserving materials and energy. By integrating with supply chain management systems, it ensures the efficient use of raw materials and promotes recycling and reuse.

The software can also provide detailed reporting on environmental impact, helping companies track their progress towards sustainability goals. Furthermore, it supports the implementation of eco-friendly manufacturing processes, such as lean manufacturing and just-in-time production, reducing overall environmental footprint.

Here are a few concrete examples of how GibbsCAM can support sustainability efforts in manufacturing:

• Intelligent strategies for faster production and higher energy efficiency (e.g. minimized air-cutting). 
• VoluMill for stainless steel parts can eliminate the need for cooling lubricants. 
• Sandvik PrimeTurning™ strategy significantly reduces tool consumption. 
• More efficient toolpaths result in faster production and lower energy consumption. 
• Simulation of toolpaths ensures error-free production and reduces material and energy waste caused by the re-manufacturing of faulty parts.
• With the integration of the CoroPlus Tool Library (CPTL) and recommendations on cutting data, speeds and feeds in GibbsCAM, sustainability efforts will benefit through longer tool life and a shorter cycle time.

And there is still so much more to discover in terms of sustainability.
