FDI has a fully equipped inspection lab consisting of one CNC 3D CMM (coordinate measuring machine) and two optical comparators both with DRO’s and one with fiber optics. All equipment is calibrated and traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. FDI is currently working on ISO certification and inspects all parts and assemblies to those standards. All components come with full 100% inspection reports, material and process certification if requested.

GibbsCAM Takes the Stage Gibbs and Associates has grown since then, but we have continued our tradition of user-friendliness, compatibility, and machine shop efficiency with our current family of products, GibbsCAM. GibbsCAM supports 2 through 5-axis milling, turning, mill/turning, multi-task simultaneous machining, and Wire-EDM. In addition, the GibbsCAM integrated offline CAM system and the Gibbs SFP embedded shop floor programming CAM system are fully compatible. High-level process models, instead of G-code, can be bi-directionally exchanged between the shop floor and manufacturing engineering. This allows the capture of shop-proven processes for standardization and re-use. And as if this weren't enough, GibbsCAM also offers fully integrated manufacturing modeling capabilities that include entry-level 2D, 2.5D, 3D wireframe, surface modeling, solid-modeling creation, and the ability to access many CAD data formats.
