Contents:
This electronic publication is a professional quality DVD video presentation of an advanced Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software solution as part of an integrated product / process / resource design approach. The discussion topics and application examples include: Why is it important to think in terms of an integrated product, process and resource system? What are the system components of GibbsCAM and how does the technology work?... What are the main application areas of GibbsCA
M in multi-axis CNC (Computer Numerical Control) turning and milling? How does the software help the CNC part programmer and operator to program the toolpath and cutting parameters of multi-axis CNC machines? What are the user-friendly CAM software design features and how do they work in practice?... and others. (Note, that this package has an optional 3D eBook too.)

The optional 3DeBook, tested on many undergraduate and graduate students and professionals in the USA, Asia and in the UK/ Europe, is an excellent introduction to advanced computer aided manufacturing systems engineering with an integrated product / process (concurrent engineering) focus. It discusses the basic steps, methods, tools, and software development technologies, advanced CAM systems for 5 axis milling and 4 axis turning are developed, with several examples and case studies demonstrated by industry leader and expert, Bill Gibbs, President, Gibbs Associates.

The 250 plus interactive screens include over 40 digital videos and highly interactive 3DVR objects, covering: An overview of a complex multi-axis milling/ turning process, courtesy of Hardinge, Inc., with a machine overview and a metal cutting demonstration on interactive video. (This sets the scene to appreciate the challenge for which GibbsCAM offers advanced programming tools and solutions). Then, Bill Gibbs explains the challenges of SFP (Shop Floor Programming), and the new thinking behind advanced CAM and collaborative engineering with some excellent in-depth, practical software demonstrations. Furthermore we cover: the Case/ Problem/ Context Based Learning Method; The Case Based Hi-Tech. Marketing Method with our 3DVR Virtual Product Demo. Technology; Case Documentation Guidelines Following an Object - oriented Method; Contacts and Direct Links to Manufacturers’ Websites; Review Questions & Challenging Problems for Engineering/ Science, for Computing and Engineering Management/ Marketing Students and Professionals; Useful Spreadsheet Templates for Educators and Students; A Major Glossary of TQM Terms; Customizable, Open-source MS-Excel Tools & Templates to Perform Your Own Calculations. Optional professional quality DVD video available. For other packaging combinations, and related modules please visit our electronic library at www.cimwareukandusa.com.
