SUSTAINABILITY
GIBBSCAM significantly contributes to sustainability in the manufacturing of parts by optimizing resource utilization and minimizing waste and energy consumption through the development of highly efficient and safe NC-toolpaths.
​
This software reduces downtime and extends the lifespan of machinery and cutting tools, thereby conserving valuable materials and energy. By integrating with supply chain management systems, GIBBSCAM facilitates the efficient use of raw materials and encourages recycling and reuse initiatives.
​
Additionally, GIBBSCAM offers comprehensive reporting on environmental impact, enabling companies to monitor their progress towards sustainability objectives. The software also supports the adoption of eco-friendly manufacturing practices, such as lean manufacturing and just-in-time production, which collectively reduce the overall environmental footprint.
​
Here are several tangible examples of how GIBBSCAM can enhance sustainability efforts in manufacturing:
​
-
Implementation of intelligent strategies that promote faster production and greater energy efficiency, such as minimizing air-cutting.
-
Utilization of VoluMill™ for stainless steel parts, which can eliminate the necessity for cooling lubricants.
-
Adoption of the Sandvik PrimeTurning™ strategy, which considerably reduces tool consumption
-
Development of more efficient toolpaths that lead to quicker production cycles and decreased energy usage.
-
Simulation of toolpaths to ensure error-free production, thereby reducing material and energy waste associated with re-manufacturing faulty parts.
-
Integration of the CoroPlus Tool Library (CPTL) along with recommendations for cutting data, speeds, and feeds within GIBBSCAM, promoting sustainability through extended tool life and shorter cycle times.
