GibbsCAM VoluMill \u2013 \u201ddynamic milling\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dynamic milling is here to stay. The technology has been around for a number of years now, but is to be considered a minor revolution compared to traditional \"pocket milling\". GibbsCAM VoluMill offers a simple but highly efficient way to CAM program dynamic rough milling.<\/p>\n

Milling with Constant Load<\/strong><\/h5>\n

GibbsCAM VoluMill varies the feedrate with ACTC (Active Chip Thickness Control) so that the load on the tool and spindle is kept almost CONSTANT even at high feeds and high material removal rates. With VoluMill, milling is done using fairly small side cuts and instead large depth steps. This way, the entire cutting edge of the tool is used for removing material which allows for much better heat dissipation. Also, wear is distributed over a larger part of the tool, instead of just on the tip (like in traditional offset milling). When it comes to choice of tool for dynamic milling, a 4-, 5- or 6-flute solid carbide end mill with big core diameter is typically the best.<\/p>\n

Ideal for difficult materials<\/strong><\/h5>\n

If you are milling in hardened steel, inconel or other difficult material, dynamic milling is to be considered a must if you want to be competitive. Those who use dynamic milling produce parts faster with lower tool costs and also have very good control over restmaterial during programming.<\/p>\n

Easy programming directly on solid<\/strong><\/h5>\n

With Volumill, you can quickly create roughing toolpaths directly on solid models, both flat 2D surfaces and more difficult curved shapes are supported. Just click on the surface(s) and then \"DO IT\" - easy! You do not need to draw boundary geometries or select any edges on the 3D model. In most cases, this means very fast and flexible programming. VoluMill also has full support for restmaterial machining.<\/p>\n
