GibbsCAM Software & Training

Braden Engineering is your best source for GibbsCAM machining and manufacturing software and support. Our territory includes much of the Midwest and Southwest, including California. With nearly 40 years of numerical control and 18 years GibbsCAM software programming experience, Braden Engineering are experts at using GibbsCAM CAD/CAM software to control a wide variety of machine tools.

What makes Braden Engineering / GibbsCAM CNC software unique?

1. Great product. GibbsCAM CNC software is fast and easy to learn and use. Braden Engineering chooses to represent GibbsCAM because it's simply the best CNC software package for most applications.

While GibbsCAM has grown to provide solutions to Fortune 500 companies such as Boeing, Ford, General Dynamics, General Motors, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon and now reaches global markets, it is still used by local machine shops and remains an exceptional alternative to manual programming for all sized shops worldwide.

GibbsCAM supports 2 through 5-axis milling, turning, mill/turning, multi-task simultaneous machining, and wire-EDM. The use of high-level process models, instead of G-code, allows the capture of shop-proven processes for standardization and re-use. In addition, GibbsCAM also offers fully integrated manufacturing modeling capabilities that include entry-level 2D, 2.5D, 3D wireframe, surface modeling, solid-modeling creation, and the ability to access current CAD data formats.

2. Expert Training and Support. Gibbs and Associates includes free GibbsCAM technical support, by phone, from 5AM to 5PM PST (7AM to 7PM CST). It's great when you need a quick answer to a software related question. However, should you have a more complicated problem that involves machining technique, Braden Engineering will provide a comprehensive solution. We work closely with each customer assuring that their use of GibbsCAM is productive. Our available support often includes:

- On-site GibbsCAM training courses that focus on the parts you need to machine

-Custom live action voice and video Flip-Books on CD documenting complete part programs

- Local GibbsCAM End User Group Meetings, see the Events button on this Website for current meeting plans

Braden Engineering occasionally produces a computer video file that gets emailed or burned to a CD and mailed to a user showing them exactly how to use GibbsCAM to perform a specific task. These have been especially useful for those customers that infrequently use or are new to the system but need a complex part programmed on a one time basis. See the sample video clip on this website.

 

3. Experience.  Philip Braden has been programming and teaching the use of numerical controlled equipment since 1966. Braden Engineering has recently been honored by Gibbs and Associates for having received the #1 Reseller Award for 16 consecutive years.  Philip has an understanding of both the software, and the machines that you are programming.  He can provide expert advice on the best methods and practices to program a part with GibbsCAM for your CNC machinery.

If you’re looking for the best CNC software, or as one of our existing customers who may be considering upgrading or adding to your current GibbsCAM software, give Braden Engineering a call.  We would be pleased to provide an on-site consultation and/or demonstration.
