Microsystem, Cimatron's Italian Subsidiary, Will Introduce GibbsCAM in Italy in a Series of Seminars During July
The Italian subsidiary is joining other Cimatron subsidiaries and representatives around the world in offering the GibbsCAM solutions, following the merger of Cimatron and Gibbs and Associates earlier this year. Microsystem has a strong presence in the Italian market, with over twenty years of delivering best-in-class solutions to thousands of Italian manufacturers. Microsystem's headquarters are located in Bologna, with additional sales and support offices in Italy's main industrial centers, including Milan, Treviso and Ancona.
GibbsCAM solutions provide a broad range of CNC programming capabilities for milling, turning, mill-turn, rotary milling, tombstone-fixtured, wire-EDM, and multi-turret/multi-spindle machining. Modeling functionality tuned specifically for manufacturing supports the creation and manipulation of wireframe, surface, and solid geometries.
Featuring an intuitive user interface, built-in associativity, and simulation capabilities, GibbsCAM empowers manufacturers to increase productivity and elevate responsiveness to customer requirements and design changes.
GibbsCAM supports controllers and machine tools from leading vendors including GE Fanuc, Infimatic, Siemens, Doosan Infracore, Haas, Index, MAG Fadal, Matsuura, Mazak, Mitsubishi, Mori Seiki, Nakamura Tome, and Tornos.
"Microsystem is a great match for GibbsCAM," said Ira Bareket, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Cimatron. "Over the last two decades Microsystem has established a dominant position for CimatronE CAD/CAM solutions among Italian toolmakers. Their knowledge of the industry and strong position with Italian manufacturers make them an ideal channel for selling and supporting the broad range of GibbsCAM solutions."
"The GibbsCAM solutions can help Italian manufacturers of discrete parts compete more effectively both locally and in the global marketplace," said Microsystem's President Enrico Gardini. "GibbsCAM's reputation in production, especially in multi-task machining, is rapidly growing in Italy and the rest of Europe and we look forward to playing a key part in GibbsCAM's expansion."
