Overview of GibbsCAM v25.0.64

GibbsCAM is a state-of-the-art, PC-based CAD/CAM software developed by Sandvik Coromant (formerly Gibbs and Associates) for programming CNC machine tools. It supports a wide range of operations, including 2-5 axis milling, turning, multi-task machining (MTM), Swiss-type machining, wire EDM, and more. The software is known for its intuitive, customizable interface that enhances productivity for CNC programmers, machinists, and manufacturing engineers.

Version 25.0.64 appears to be a recent update in the GibbsCAM 2025 series (released in late 2024). This series builds on previous versions with enhancements in AI-driven capabilities, improved simulation, and better support for complex machines. As of September 25, 2025, the latest documented updates reach v25.0.55, with v25.0.64 likely incorporating additional bug fixes and minor optimizations based on the ongoing update pattern.

Key Features of GibbsCAM 2025 (v25 Series)

  • Post-Processor Library: Proven, error-free library developed in-house for reliable G-code output.
  • Expanded Functionality: Modules for turning, milling, drilling, turn-milling, and advanced 5-axis operations.
  • AI and Automation: New in 2025, includes AI-assisted features for faster programming and error detection.
  • Multi-Language Support: Available in English, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and more.

What’s New in GibbsCAM 2025

The 2025 release focuses on boosting productivity for advanced machining. Notable updates include:

  • Swiss-Type Machining Enhancements: New headstock origin option for precise positioning relative to the guide bushing.
  • Improved Simulator: Better handling of complex simulations with AI optimizations.
  • Interface Modernization: Updated UI for efficiency while retaining traditional workflows.

For v25.0.64 specifically, it follows a series of incremental updates (e.g., from v25.0.36 baseline). Recent fixes in the v25 series include:

  • Resolved ramp-down inconsistencies between v24 and v25.
  • Fixed crashes during “Save A Copy” to previous versions.
  • Corrected tool validation errors (e.g., “Tool 0 is referenced but is not valid”).
  • Improved machine settings validation (e.g., numeric range errors in simulation).
