PS Pawan Raj S. Student Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 4/28/2021 "I would say the best user experience and learning for beginners and amateur levels." 4.5/5 What do you like best about GibbsCAM? The possibility of simulation of various machining processes and specifying various parameters to them for observing changes is widely possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about GibbsCAM? The scope of simulation is somewhat limited like we cannot simulate the process of laser cutting, automated welding, and others. It's very suitable for processing operations like roughing, pocketing, drilling, and related features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering GibbsCAM: A good platform for simulating machining operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is GibbsCAM solving and how is that benefiting you? I'm observing possibility of how differently we could perform machining operations. I have had the possibility to try the same operation with changing parameters and then observing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
