up2parts autoCAM for GibbsCAM

up2parts autoCAM for GibbsCAM is an AI-based solution that automates and accelerates CAM programming by leveraging your company’s own production data, part geometry, and tolerance information. This solution is designed to complement your existing GibbsCAM environment, enhancing programming efficiency without the need for heavy macro or rule-based systems.

In many machine shops, CAM programming is still time-consuming and heavily dependent on experienced programmers. Repetitive tasks, manual selections, and inconsistent programming practices place a strain on resources and slow down production throughput. up2parts autoCAM addresses these challenges by bringing AI-assisted automation directly into GibbsCAM—making programming up to 70% faster.

Automation for 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 generates CAM program suggestions within minutes and transfers them directly to GibbsCAM, where NC code is created normally through the post-processor.

The end result is much shorter programming times, less manual effort, and a more cost-effective CAM process—without compromising on quality or control.

How up2parts autoCAM Works in GibbsCAM

  1. Open the up2parts autoCAM add-on in GibbsCAM and select your part
    The CAM project is created directly within your familiar GibbsCAM environment.
  2. Automatic suggestions for operations and tools
    up2parts analyzes the part’s geometry, tolerances, and your company’s own manufacturing strategies, and within seconds, generates suggestions for operations, tools, cutting parameters, and settings.
  3. Refine, simulate, and generate NC code
    The user can tweak the suggestions, run a simulation, and generate NC code as usual using GibbsCAM’s post-processor.

All user changes are fed back into up2parts, allowing the AI to learn and better adapt to your company’s machining strategies.

AI Makes Suggestions—The Programmer Decides

up2parts autoCAM is powered by AI that generates CAM program suggestions without relying on traditional macro or rules-based logic. The system automatically suggests:

  • machining operations
  • tools
  • settings
  • cutting parameters

Consistent programming practices reduce the burden on senior CAM programmers and simplify onboarding for new users. Automation supports expertise, rather than replacing it.

Tolerances and PMI in CAM Programming

up2parts autoCAM utilizes tolerance information (PMI) in CAM program generation. If STEP AP242 models are not available, tolerances can be added manually in up2parts.

For example, the following can be linked to a CAD model:

  • surface roughness
  • threads
  • fit types
  • dimensional and geometric tolerances

Tolerances can also be read from PDF drawings and structurally attached to the part. This allows multiple operations to be automatically created according to tolerance requirements and improves program approval rates in actual production.

Tools and Production Data—On Your Terms

Tool data can be imported into up2parts in several ways:

  • CSV or XML import
  • ToolsUnited integration

The system leverages your company’s own machine lineup, tooling, and manufacturing strategies. Program suggestions are therefore based on real production conditions, not generic assumptions.

What Doesn’t up2parts autoCAM Do?

up2parts autoCAM does not independently generate NC code. Toolpaths and NC code are always created through GibbsCAM and your existing post-processor. This ensures complete control, security, and compatibility with your current production processes.
