Start with the Level That Fits Your Work

GibbsCAM Turning is available in two levels: Go Turning and Go Solid Turning. Both provide dedicated turning cycles for CNC lathes.
For shops running live tooling or mill-turn machines, GibbsCAM Turning can be expanded with milling capabilities, or you can move into the dedicated MTM solution for full multi-channel, multi-spindle programming.

Which Turning Package Is Right for Your Shop?

Running repeat production parts from 2D geometry?

If your work is mostly 2.5-axis or basic 3-axis geometry-driven parts, Go Milling typically provides the tools you need.

Programming directly from solid CAD models?

If you rely on solid models and want automation for holes & smarter roughing, Go Solids adds those capabilities.

Running live tooling or more advanced lathe configurations?

Live tooling and advanced configurations can be bundled with your turning package. Contact us to configure the right setup.
