GibbsCAM Helps Hardinge Show Off Product Line
Gibbs and Associates, developer of GibbsCAM® software for programming CNC machine tools and a Cimatron company, announced its participation at the Hardinge Machine Technology Show, HMTS 2012, which will feature Hardinge lathes, machining centers, grinders, plus workholding and rotary products. Seminars by manufacturing technology experts will be held in morning and afternoon sessions on both days, while demonstrations by Hardinge’s tooling and technology partners, including Gibbs and Associates, will be conducted throughout the event. The show will be held between 9:00AM and 4:30PM, on June 6-7, at Hardinge Headquarters, One Hardinge Drive, Elmira, New York.
Gibbs and Associates will demonstrate GibbsCAM’s support for the entire line of Hardinge CNC turning and milling machines.
