GibbsCAM Advanced 3D Machining
Course Description
The Geometry Creation course provides the first level of GibbsCAM training to get you started.
You will learn the basics of GibbsCAM and how to draw and manipulate geometry. At the end
of the course you will be able to create geometry that will be used in the next course.

Rotary Milling
Course Description
The Rotary Milling - Design and Tool Path course will teach you how to create programs using
positional indexing as well as polar and cylindrical milling. In the end you will be able to create
tool path to machine features along the radius of a cylindrical piece of stock. You will also
learn Mill/Turn techniques to use both mill and lathe operations on a single part.
