Curiosity imagery courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech Need to program parts that require extremely precise tolerances? Gibbs Can! The rotor housing for Curiosity was machined from 6AL-4V titanium on a 3-axis machining center equipped with fourth-axis rotary table. Next Intent (San Luis Obispo, CA) designs and builds precise tolerance components and sub assemblies for aerospace, aircraft, defense & national laboratories. Looking for proven performance in their CAM software solution, the company chose GibbsCAM. GibbsCAM integrates cutting-edge CAD/CAM technology with industry-leading ease-of-use features — critical qualities needed when programming parts like the rotary housing for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory. The housing is designed with thin walls and multiple pockets (with some features requiring a tolerance of ±.001ʺ ). JPL's STEP-format CAD model opened directly in GibbsCAM, where its 5-axis functions were used to program the part. If failure is not an option and you need to program parts that require extremely precise tolerances... Gibbs Can! ® Powerfully Simple. Simply Powerful. ® Gibbs and Associates /GibbsCAM Got 3 Minutes?
