up2parts autoCAM for GibbsCAM
up2parts autoCAM for GibbsCAM is an AI-powered solution that automates and accelerates CAM programming by leveraging a company’s own production data, geometry, and tolerance information. The solution is designed to complement an existing GibbsCAM environment and streamline programming without complex macro- or rule-based solutions.
In many machine shops, CAM programming is still time-consuming and heavily dependent on experienced programmers. Repetitive tasks, manual selections, and inconsistent programming practices consume resources and slow production throughput. up2parts autoCAM addresses these challenges by bringing AI-assisted automation directly into GibbsCAM—making programming up to 70% faster.
Automation within your existing CAM environment
up2parts autoCAM does not replace GibbsCAM or alter your existing CAM infrastructure. Instead, it works as a fully integrated add-on. The solution creates CAM program proposals within minutes and transfers them directly to GibbsCAM, where NC code is generated normally through the postprocessor.
The result is significantly shorter programming times, less manual work, and a more cost-effective CAM process—without compromising quality or control.
How up2parts autoCAM works in GibbsCAM
- Open the up2parts autoCAM add-on in GibbsCAM and select a part
The CAM project is created directly in the familiar GibbsCAM environment. - Automatic suggestions for operations and tools
up2parts analyzes the part’s geometry, tolerances, and the company’s own manufacturing strategies, then creates suggestions for operations, tools, cutting parameters, and setups within seconds. - Refinement, simulation, and NC code generation
The user can edit the suggestions, run a simulation, and generate NC code normally using the GibbsCAM postprocessor.
All changes made by the user are fed back into up2parts, allowing the AI to learn and adapt more closely to the company’s own machining strategies.
AI suggests—the programmer decides
up2parts autoCAM is based on AI that generates CAM program proposals without traditional macro- or rule-based logic. The system automatically suggests:
- machining operations
- tools
- setups
- cutting parameters
Consistent programming practices reduce the workload of experienced CAM programmers and make onboarding new users easier. Automation supports expertise—it does not replace it.
Tolerances and PMI as part of CAM programming
up2parts autoCAM uses tolerance information (PMI) when creating CAM programs. If STEP AP242 models are not available, tolerances can be added manually in up2parts.
The CAD model can include, for example:
- surface roughness
- threads
- fits
- dimensional and geometric tolerances
Tolerances can also be read from PDF drawings and stored as structured data in the part. This enables multiple operations to be created automatically according to tolerance requirements and improves the suitability of the programs for actual production.
Tools and production data on your company’s terms
Tool data can be imported into up2parts in several ways:
- CSV or XML import
- ToolsUnited integration
The system uses the company’s own machines, tools, and manufacturing strategies. This means CAM proposals are not based on generic assumptions, but on actual production conditions.
What does up2parts autoCAM not do?
up2parts autoCAM does not generate NC code independently. Toolpaths and NC code are always created through GibbsCAM and the postprocessor in use. This ensures full control, safety, and compatibility with existing production processes.
